## Affected packages

- `org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core` (Maven): affected `>=1.626, <1.638 || <1.625.2`; fixed in `1.638`, `1.625.2`

## Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

> Jenkins core (org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core) versions from 1.626 before 1.638, and versions before 1.625.2, are affected by an XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability in the create-job CLI command. A remote attacker who supplies a crafted job configuration can read arbitrary files from the server when that configuration is later processed by an XML-aware tool, such as the get-job and update-job commands. Upgrade to version 1.638 or 1.625.2.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-3j9c-cp7m-8w8g>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
