GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m
MEDIUMGHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.3) Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in org.jenkins-ci.plugins:git-server. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Jenkins Git server Plugin does not perform a permission check
Real-World Exposure
org.jenkins-ci.plugins:git-serverReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Jenkins Git server Plugin 114.v068a_c7cc2574 and earlier does not perform a permission check for read access to a Git repository over SSH.
This allows attackers with a previously configured SSH public key but lacking Overall/Read permission to access Git repositories.
Git server Plugin 117.veb_68868fa_027 requires Overall/Read permission to access Git repositories over SSH.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:git-server. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:git-server to 117.veb or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
