EPSS

• CVE-2023-24425: 0.82% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 57.35 (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 Kubernetes Credentials Provider Plugin 1.208.v128ee9800c04 and earlier does not set the appropriate context for Kubernetes credentials lookup, allowing attackers with Item/Configure permission to access and potentially capture Kubernetes credentials they are not entitled to.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2023-24425

Advisory: Exposure of system-scoped Kubernetes credentials in Jenkins Kubernetes Credentials Provider Plugin
IDs: CVE-2023-24425, GHSA-2jpx-h8j2-g8m4
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2023-24425 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:35 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.5)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins:kubernetes-credentials-provider 1.209.v862c6e5fb. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins:kubernetes-credentials-provider: affected < 1.209.v862c6e5fb; fixed in 1.209.v862c6e5fb

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins:kubernetes-credentials-provider: 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.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins:kubernetes-credentials-provider.
- 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-2jpx-h8j2-g8m4 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-2jpx-h8j2-g8m4 lists affected ranges: Maven com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins:kubernetes-credentials-provider >=0 <1.209.v862c6e5fb)
