Jenkins ( < 2.235.2 LTS / < 2.245 Weekly) Multiple Stored XSS (Jenkins Security Advisory 2020-07-15)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 138887

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Jenkins running on the remote web server is prior to 2.245 or is a version of Jenkins LTS prior to 2.235.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in various components including its build time trend page, build cause page, tooltips & build console page. This is due to improper validation of user-supplied input before returning it to users. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to click a specially crafted URL, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session.

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 weekly to version 2.245 or later. Upgrade Jenkins LTS to version 2.235.2 or later.
