EPSS

• CVE-2022-43428: 0.79% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 56.42 (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-03). This is a model estimate, not proof of exploitation or customer exposure.

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Jenkins Compuware Topaz for Total Test Plugin 2.4.8 and earlier implements an agent/controller message that does not limit where it can be executed, allowing attackers able to control agent processes to obtain the values of Java system properties from the Jenkins controller process. These vulnerabilities are only exploitable in Jenkins 2.318 and earlier, LTS 2.303.2 and earlier. See the LTS upgrade guide.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2022-43428

Advisory: Agent-to-controller security bypass vulnerabilities in Jenkins Compuware Topaz for Total Test Plugin
IDs: CVE-2022-43428, GHSA-xp3r-9wx8-q2mm
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2022-43428 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:36 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.5)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: com.compuware.jenkins:compuware-topaz-for-total-test 2.4.9. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven com.compuware.jenkins:compuware-topaz-for-total-test: affected <= 2.4.8; fixed in 2.4.9

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven com.compuware.jenkins:compuware-topaz-for-total-test: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on com.compuware.jenkins:compuware-topaz-for-total-test.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-xp3r-9wx8-q2mm (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-xp3r-9wx8-q2mm lists affected ranges: Maven com.compuware.jenkins:compuware-topaz-for-total-test >=0 <=2.4.8)
