Jenkins 2.299 and earlier, LTS 2.289.1 and earlier allows users to cancel queue items and abort builds of jobs for which they have Item/Cancel permission even when they do not have Item/Read permission.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2021:3820 advisory.

    Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is Red Hat's cloud computing     Kubernetes application platform solution designed for on-premise or private     cloud deployments.

    This advisory contains the RPM packages for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.8.15. See the following     advisory for the container images for this release:

    https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2021:3821

    Security Fix(es):

    * jenkins: improper permission checks allow canceling queue items and aborting builds (CVE-2021-21670)

    * jenkins: session fixation vulnerability (CVE-2021-21671)

    * golang: net: lookup functions may return invalid host names (CVE-2021-33195)

    * golang: net/http/httputil: ReverseProxy forwards connection headers if first one is empty     (CVE-2021-33197)

    * golang: math/big.Rat: may cause a panic or an unrecoverable fatal error if passed inputs with very large     exponents (CVE-2021-33198)

    * golang: crypto/tls: certificate of wrong type is causing TLS client to panic (CVE-2021-34558)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

    All OpenShift Container Platform 4.8 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages and images     when they are available in the appropriate release channel. To check for available updates, use the     OpenShift Console or the CLI oc command. Instructions for upgrading a cluster are available at     https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.8/updating/updating-cluster-between-     minor.html#understanding-upgrade-channels_updating-cluster-between-minor.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Jenkins Enterprise or Jenkins Operations Center running on the remote web server is 2.x prior to 2.289.2.2, 2.249.x prior to 2.249.31.0.6, or 2.277.x prior to 2.277.40.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Vulnerable versions of Jenkins allow users to cancel queue items and abort builds of jobs for which they     have Item/Cancel permission even when they do not have Item/Read permission. (CVE-2021-21670)

  - Vulnerable versions of Jenkins do not invalidate the previous session on login and is, therefore,     vulnerable to session fixation attacks. (CVE-2021-21671)

Jenkins Security Advisory : Description(Medium) SECURITY-2278 / CVE-2021-21670 Improper permission checks allow canceling queue items and aborting builds (High) SECURITY-2371 / CVE-2021-21671 Session fixation vulnerability

According to its its self-reported version number, the version of Jenkins running on the remote web server is Jenkins LTS prior to 2.289.2 or Jenkins weekly prior to 2.300. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Jenkins 2.299 and earlier, LTS 2.289.1 and earlier allows users to cancel queue items and abort builds of     jobs for which they have Item/Cancel permission even when they do not have Item/Read permission. Jenkins     2.300, LTS 2.289.2 requires that users have Item/Read permission for applicable types in addition to     Item/Cancel permission. As a workaround on earlier versions of Jenkins, do not grant Item/Cancel     permission to users who do not have Item/Read permission. (CVE-2021-21670)

  - Jenkins 2.299 and earlier, LTS 2.289.1 and earlier does not invalidate the existing session on login. This     allows attackers to use social engineering techniques to gain administrator access to Jenkins. This     vulnerability was introduced in Jenkins 2.266 and LTS 2.277.1. Jenkins 2.300, LTS 2.289.2 invalidates the     existing session on login. Note In case of problems, administrators can choose a different implementation     by setting the Java system property hudson.security.SecurityRealm.sessionFixationProtectionMode to 2, or     disable the fix entirely by setting that system property to 0. (CVE-2021-21671)

  - Selenium HTML report Plugin 1.0 and earlier does not configure its XML parser to prevent XML external     entity (XXE) attacks. This allows attackers with the ability to control the report files parsed using this     plugin to have Jenkins parse a crafted report file that uses external entities for extraction of secrets     from the Jenkins controller or server-side request forgery. Selenium HTML report Plugin 1.1 disables     external entity resolution for its XML parser. (CVE-2021-21672)

  - CAS Plugin 1.6.0 and earlier improperly determines that a redirect URL after login is legitimately     pointing to Jenkins. This allows attackers to perform phishing attacks by having users go to a Jenkins URL     that will forward them to a different site after successful authentication. CAS Plugin 1.6.1 only     redirects to relative (Jenkins) URLs. (CVE-2021-21673)

  - requests-plugin Plugin 2.2.6 and earlier does not perform a permission check in an HTTP endpoint. This     allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to view the list of pending requests. requests-plugin Plugin     2.2.7 requires Overall/Read permission to view the list of pending requests. (CVE-2021-21674)
