Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Jenkins OWASP Dependency-Check Plugin versions 5.1.1 and earlier

Description The issue is related to the XML parser not being configured to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks. This allows attackers who can control workspace contents to have Jenkins parse a crafted XML file, potentially leading to the extraction of secrets from the Jenkins controller or server-side request forgery.

Recommendations For versions 5.1.1 and earlier, update to a version that configures its XML parser to prevent XXE attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the XML parser or disabling it until a patch is available.
