What is CVE-2018-1000054?

CVE-2018-1000054 is a high-severity XML external entity injection (XXE) vulnerability in org.jvnet.hudson.plugins:ccm (maven), affecting versions < 3.2. It is fixed in 3.2. An XML parser processes external entity references in untrusted input, causing the server to fetch internal resources or remote URLs.

How severe is CVE-2018-1000054?

CVE-2018-1000054 has a CVSS score of 8.3 (High). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.

Which versions of org.jvnet.hudson.plugins:ccm are affected by CVE-2018-1000054?

org.jvnet.hudson.plugins:ccm (maven) versions < 3.2 is affected.

Is there a fix for CVE-2018-1000054?

Yes. CVE-2018-1000054 is fixed in 3.2. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is CVE-2018-1000054 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether CVE-2018-1000054 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

What actually determines whether CVE-2018-1000054 is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

Summary

Jenkins CCM Plugin vulnerable to Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference

Jenkins CCM Plugin 3.1 and earlier processes XML external entities in files it parses as part of the build process, allowing attackers with user permissions in Jenkins to extract secrets from the Jenkins master, perform server-side request forgery, or denial-of-service attacks.

Impact

An XML parser processes external entity references in untrusted input, causing the server to fetch internal resources or remote URLs. Typical impact: local file disclosure, server-side request forgery, or denial of service.

CVE-2018-1000054 has a CVSS score of 8.3 (High). The vector is network-reachable, low privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (3.2); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Affected versions

org.jvnet.hudson.plugins:ccm (< 3.2)

Security releases

org.jvnet.hudson.plugins:ccm → 3.2 (maven)

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
