high Nessus Plugin ID 181840

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the version of Jenkins plugins running on the remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - Jenkins Build Failure Analyzer Plugin 2.4.1 and earlier does not escape Failure Cause names in build logs, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers able to create or update Failure Causes. (CVE-2023-43499)

 - A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Jenkins Build Failure Analyzer Plugin 2.4.1 and earlier allows attackers to connect to an attacker-specified hostname and port using attacker-specified username and password. (CVE-2023-43500)

 - A missing permission check in Jenkins Build Failure Analyzer Plugin 2.4.1 and earlier allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified hostname and port using attacker- specified username and password. (CVE-2023-43501)

 - A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Jenkins Build Failure Analyzer Plugin 2.4.1 and earlier allows attackers to delete Failure Causes. (CVE-2023-43502)

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:
- Build Failure Analyzer Plugin to version 2.4.2 or later See vendor advisory for more details.
