Summary
Jenkins Redpen - Pipeline Reporter for Jira Plugin 1.054.v7b_9517b_6b_202 and earlier does not correctly perform path validation of the workspace directory while uploading artifacts to Jira, allowing attackers with Item/Configure permission to retrieve files present on the Jenkins controller workspace directory.
Impact
Input manipulates file paths to reach files outside the intended directory, such as configuration or credential files. Typical impact: unauthorized file read or write outside the intended directory.
CVE-2025-67643 has a CVSS score of 4.3 (Medium). 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. No fixed version is listed yet, so configuration controls and monitoring matter more in the interim.

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.
Remediation advice
In the interim: Resolve the canonical path after applying any user-supplied input, and verify it remains within the intended directory before accessing it.
Kodem Kai can prioritize this vulnerability in your dependency tree and generate a fix recommendation.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2025-67643? CVE-2025-67643 is a medium-severity path traversal vulnerability in org.jenkinsci.plugins:pipeline-reporter-by-redpen (maven), affecting versions <= 1.054. No fixed version is listed yet. Input manipulates file paths to reach files outside the intended directory, such as configuration or credential files.
- How severe is CVE-2025-67643? CVE-2025-67643 has a CVSS score of 4.3 (Medium). 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.jenkinsci.plugins:pipeline-reporter-by-redpen are affected by CVE-2025-67643? org.jenkinsci.plugins:pipeline-reporter-by-redpen (maven) versions <= 1.054 is affected.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2025-67643? No fixed version is listed for CVE-2025-67643 yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.
- Is CVE-2025-67643 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2025-67643 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-2025-67643 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.
- How do I fix CVE-2025-67643? No fixed version is listed yet. In the interim: Resolve the canonical path after applying any user-supplied input, and verify it remains within the intended directory before accessing it.
