Jenkins LTS < 2.462.3 / Jenkins weekly < 2.479 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 208098

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

According to its its self-reported version number, the version of Jenkins running on the remote web server is Jenkins LTS prior to 2.462.3 or Jenkins weekly prior to 2.479. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - Jenkins 2.478 and earlier, LTS 2.462.2 and earlier does not redact multi-line secret values in error messages generated for form submissions involving the `secretTextarea` form field. (CVE-2024-47803)

 - If an attempt is made to create an item of a type prohibited by `ACL#hasCreatePermission2` or `TopLevelItemDescriptor#isApplicableIn(ItemGroup)` through the Jenkins CLI or the REST API and either of these checks fail, Jenkins 2.478 and earlier, LTS 2.462.2 and earlier creates the item in memory, only deleting it from disk, allowing attackers with Item/Configure permission to save the item to persist it, effectively bypassing the item creation restriction. (CVE-2024-47804)

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 2.479 or later, or Jenkins LTS to version 2.462.3 or later.
