Jenkins plugins Multiple Vulnerabilities (2025-03-19)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 232871

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:

 - The implementation of EdDSA in EdDSA-Java (aka ed25519-java) through 0.3.0 exhibits signature malleability and does not satisfy the SUF-CMA (Strong Existential Unforgeability under Chosen Message Attacks) property. This allows attackers to create new valid signatures different from previous signatures for a known message. (CVE-2020-36843)

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:
 - AnchorChain Plugin: See vendor advisory
 - EDDSA API Plugin to version 0.3.0.1-16.vcb_4a_98a_3531c or later
 - Zoho QEngine Plugin to version 1.0.31.v4a_b_1db_6d6a_f2 or later

See vendor advisory for more details.
