## Critical

Critical, because:

- CVSS score 9.0: 9.0 or more.
- CVSS score 9.0 (7.0 or more) and EPSS 0.29 (0.1 or more): a high score and a real chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

How we decide what’s critical: <https://agentprime.io/advisories/critical.md>

## Affected packages

- `org.jenkins-ci.main:remoting` (Maven): affected `<3206.3208 || >=3248, <3248.3250 || >=3256, <3256.3258`; fixed in `3206.3208`, `3248.3250`, `3256.3258`
- `org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core` (Maven): affected `<2.452.4 || >=2.460, <2.462.1 || >=2.470, <2.471`; fixed in `2.452.4`, `2.462.1`, `2.471`

## Machine-written summary

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

> Remoting versions before 3206.3208, from 3248 before 3248.3250, and from 3256 before 3256.3258 are affected, as are jenkins-core versions before 2.452.4, from 2.460 before 2.462.1, and from 2.470 before 2.471. An attacker with Agent/Connect permission, or code running on an agent, can read arbitrary files from the Jenkins controller file system. Upgrade jenkins-core to 2.452.4, 2.462.1, or 2.471, or Remoting to 3206.3208, 3248.3250, or 3256.3258.

## 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-h856-ffvv-xvr4>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
