CVE-2025-64134: Jenkins JDepend Plugin vulnerable to XML external entity attacks

October 29, 2025 (updated November 5, 2025)

Jenkins JDepend Plugin 1.3.1 and earlier includes an outdated version of JDepend Maven Plugin that does not configure its XML parser to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks.

This allows attackers able to configure input files for the “Report JDepend” step to have Jenkins parse a crafted file that uses external entities for extraction of secrets from the Jenkins controller or server-side request forgery.

As of publication of this advisory, there is no fix.
