medium Nessus Plugin ID 164452

Language:

Synopsis

An application running on a remote web server host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

According to their self-reported version numbers, the version of Jenkins plugins running on the remote web server are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - Jenkins Git Plugin 4.11.4 and earlier does not properly mask (i.e., replace with asterisks) credentials in the build log provided by the Git Username and Password (`gitUsernamePassword`) credentials binding.
 (CVE-2022-38663)

 - Jenkins Job Configuration History Plugin 1165.v8cc9fd1f4597 and earlier does not escape the job name on the System Configuration History page, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers able to configure job names. (CVE-2022-38664)

 - Jenkins CollabNet Plugins Plugin 2.0.8 and earlier stores a RabbitMQ password unencrypted in its global configuration file on the Jenkins controller where it can be viewed by users with access to the Jenkins controller file system. (CVE-2022-38665)

 - Loading specially-crafted yaml with the Kubernetes Java Client library can lead to code execution.
 (CVE-2021-25738)

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

Solution

Update Jenkins plugins to the following versions:
 - CollabNet Plugins Plugin to version 2.0.9 or later
 - Git Plugin to version 4.11.5 or later
 - Job Configuration History Plugin to version 1166.vc9f255f45b_8a or later
 - Kubernetes Continuous Deploy Plugin: See vendor advisory
