• CVE-2026-48923: 0.18% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 7.66 (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 AppSpider Plugin 1.0.17 and earlier does not perform a permission check in a method implementing form validation. This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified URL. AppSpider Plugin 1.0.18 requires Overall/Administer permission to use the affected method implementing form validation.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-48923

Advisory: Jenkins AppSpider Plugin does not perform a permission check in a method implementing form validation
IDs: CVE-2026-48923, GHSA-9wm7-8qf3-9v98
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-48923 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:54 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 4.3)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: com.rapid7:jenkinsci-appspider-plugin 1.0.18. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven com.rapid7:jenkinsci-appspider-plugin: affected <= 1.0.17; fixed in 1.0.18

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven com.rapid7:jenkinsci-appspider-plugin: 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.rapid7:jenkinsci-appspider-plugin.
- 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-9wm7-8qf3-9v98 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-9wm7-8qf3-9v98 lists affected ranges: Maven com.rapid7:jenkinsci-appspider-plugin >=0 <=1.0.17)
