Jenkins < 2.138.4 LTS / 2.150.1 LTS / 2.154 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 119500

Language:

Synopsis

A job scheduling and management system hosted on the remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Jenkins running on the remote web server is prior to 2.154 or is a version of Jenkins LTS prior to 2.138.4 or 2.150.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A command execution vulnerability exists in the Stapler web framework used in Jenkins due to certain methods being invoked via crafted URLs. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to invoke methods never intended to be invoked in this way, which could potentially lead to command execution.

- A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in Jenkins due to a forced migration of user records. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via submitting a crafted username to Jenkins login, which could potentially prevent valid users from being able to log in.

 - An arbitrary file read vulnerability exists in Jenkins due to the workspace browser following symlinks outside the workspace. An attacker could exploit this to read arbitrary files outside of the workspace and disclose sensitive information.

 - A potential denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in Jenkins due to an error in cron expression form validation. An attacker can exploit this issue, via a crafted cron expression, to cause the application to stop responding.

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

Solution

Upgrade Jenkins to version 2.154 or later, Jenkins LTS to version 2.138.4, 2.150.1 or later.
