GHSA-xmqv-pfw7-qmj7 is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.5) CWE-295 vulnerability in org.jenkins-ci.plugins:electricflow. A fix is available for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:electricflow — see the affected versions and patch details below.
Jenkins ElectricFlow Plugin globally and unconditionally disabled SSL/TLS certificate validation
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
How urgent is this, really
GHSA-xmqv-pfw7-qmj7 plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 377,333 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.
Real-World Exposure
org.jenkins-ci.plugins:electricflowReal-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
CloudBees CD Plugin unconditionally disabled SSL/TLS certificate validation for the entire Jenkins controller JVM during the deployment/publication of an application.
CloudBees CD Plugin no longer does that. Instead, the existing opt-in option to ignore SSL/TLS errors is used during deployment for the specific connection.
This issue was caused by an incomplete fix for SECURITY-937.

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:electricflow, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:electricflow to 1.1.7 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-xmqv-pfw7-qmj7 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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-xmqv-pfw7-qmj7 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-xmqv-pfw7-qmj7. 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-xmqv-pfw7-qmj7 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-xmqv-pfw7-qmj7 across Maven dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
