Which packages are affected by GHSA-xpvp-h73c-m9rq?

GHSA-xpvp-h73c-m9rq affects the following packages: org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-xpvp-h73c-m9rq?

Update org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core to 2.370 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-xpvp-h73c-m9rq is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-xpvp-h73c-m9rq in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core. 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-xpvp-h73c-m9rq 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-xpvp-h73c-m9rq?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-xpvp-h73c-m9rq 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-xpvp-h73c-m9rq actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-xpvp-h73c-m9rq 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-xpvp-h73c-m9rq?

GHSA-xpvp-h73c-m9rq has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.9%, placing it in the 54th 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-xpvp-h73c-m9rq?

GHSA-xpvp-h73c-m9rq is classified as Cross-site Scripting (XSS) (CWE-79). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was GHSA-xpvp-h73c-m9rq published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-xpvp-h73c-m9rq was published on September 22, 2022 and was last updated on February 16, 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 2.367 through 2.369 (both inclusive) does not escape tooltips of the l:helpIcon UI component used for some help icons on the Jenkins web UI, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers able to control tooltips for this component.

As of publication, the Jenkins security team is unaware of any exploitable help icon/tooltip in Jenkins core or plugins published by the Jenkins project. The vast majority of help icons use the l:help component instead of l:helpIcon. The few known instances of l:helpIcon do not have user-controllable tooltip contents.
