Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedJenkins OSF Builder Suite : : XML Linter Plugin 1.0.2 and earlier does not configure its XML parser to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Jenkins OSF Builder Suite XML Linter Plugin versions 1.0.2 and earlier contains a critical XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability due to its XML parser not being configured to prevent XXE attacks. An attacker could exploit this by submitting malicious XML documents containing external entity references, potentially allowing file disclosure, server-side request forgery (SSRF), or denial of service.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify the OSF Builder Suite XML Linter Plugin is installedNavigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed and search for 'OSF Builder Suite XML Linter' or 'osf-xml-linter' to confirm the plugin is present.Affected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list.
-
Identify the installed plugin versionIn the Installed Plugins page, locate the OSF Builder Suite XML Linter Plugin and note the Version column. Compare this version against the affected range: 1.0.2 and earlier.Affected if The installed version is 1.0.2 or any version lower (e.g., 1.0.1, 1.0.0).
-
Check for XML Linter job configurationsSearch Jenkins jobs (via Manage Jenkins > Manage Users or directly in job configurations) for uses of the XML Linter functionality. Look for build steps or post-build actions referencing the OSF XML Linter or XML linting features.Affected if Any job is configured to use the XML Linter build step or post-build action.
-
Determine if the plugin is enabledGo to Manage Jenkins > Configure Global Security or Manage Plugins > Installed and verify whether the OSF Builder Suite XML Linter Plugin is disabled or has its XML processing features actively available.Affected if The plugin is enabled and its XML processing features are available for job configurations.
The environment is affected if the OSF Builder Suite XML Linter Plugin version 1.0.2 or earlier is installed, enabled, and its XML Linter feature is being used in any job configuration.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade the plugin to a version that properly configures the XML parser to disable external entities and DOCTYPE declarations, or implement secure XML parser configuration with features like XMLConstants.ACCESS_EXTERNAL_DTD and XMLConstants.ACCESS_EXTERNAL_SCHEMA set to empty strings.
