Which packages are affected by GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m?

GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m affects the following packages: org.jenkins-ci.plugins:git-server (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m?

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.

How do I detect GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m in my Maven dependencies?

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.

How do I mitigate GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m?

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.

Is GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m?

GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.5%, placing it in the 40th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m?

GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m is classified as Improper Privilege Management (CWE-269), CWE-862 (CWE-862), CWE-863 (CWE-863). These weakness types describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-xh9c-vcf9-h94m was published on May 2, 2024 and was last updated on July 3, 2024. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-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.
