Jenkins Git Plugin < 4.8.3 XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 155627

Language:

Synopsis

An application running on a remote web server host is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

According to its its self-reported version number, the version of the Jenkins Git Plugin running on the remote web server is prior to 4.8.3. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability due to it not escaping the Git SHA-1 checksum parameters provided to commit notifications when displaying them in a build cause, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

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

Solution

Upgrade the Jenkins Git Plugin to version 4.8.3 or later.
