Jenkins LTS < 2.401.3 / Jenkins weekly < 2.416 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 178903

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

According to its its self-reported version number, the version of Jenkins running on the remote web server is Jenkins LTS prior to 2.401.3 or Jenkins weekly prior to 2.416. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- Jenkins 2.415 and earlier, LTS 2.401.2 and earlier does not sanitize or properly encode URLs in build logs when transforming them into hyperlinks, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers able to control build log contents. (CVE-2023-39151)

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

Solution

Upgrade Jenkins weekly to version 2.416 or later, or Jenkins LTS to version 2.401.3 or later.
