Jenkins announces vulnerabilities

Overview :

Stored XSS vulnerability in expandable textbox form control

SECURITY-1498 / CVE-2019-10401

Jenkins form controls include an expandable textbox that can transform from a single-line text box to a multi-line text area.

The implementation of this transformation interpreted the text content of the form field as HTML. This resulted in a cross-site scripting vulnerability exploitable by attackers able to control the contents of such f:expandableTextbox form controls.

Jenkins no longer interprets f:expandableTextbox text content as HTML when transforming it.

XSS vulnerability in combobox form control

SECURITY-1525 / CVE-2019-10402

Jenkins interpreted items added to f:combobox form controls as HTML. This resulted in a cross-site scripting vulnerability exploitable by attackers able to control the contents of f:combobox form controls.

Jenkins no longer interprets items added to a combobox as HTML.

Note

This might be a breaking change for plugins that relied on the previous, undocumented behavior to add formatting to f:combobox elements. This has been removed without replacement. Plugin developers are advised to only add plain text entries to f:combobox controls.

Stored XSS vulnerability in SCM tag action tooltip

SECURITY-1537 (1) / CVE-2019-10403

Jenkins did not escape the tag name on the tooltip for tag actions shown in the build history. This resulted in a cross-site scripting vulnerability exploitable by attackers able to control the SCM tag name for these actions.

Jenkins now escapes the SCM tag action.

Stored XSS vulnerability in queue item tooltip

SECURITY-1537 (2) / CVE-2019-10404

Jenkins did not escape the reason a queue item is blocked in tooltips. This resulted in a cross-site scripting vulnerability exploitable by attackers able to control the reason a queue item is blocked, for example a label expression that does not match idle executors.

Jenkins now escapes the reason a queue item is blocked in tooltips.

Diagnostic web page exposed Cookie HTTP header

SECURITY-1505 / CVE-2019-10405

Jenkins shows various technical information about the current user on the /whoAmI URL. The information shown includes HTTP request headers.

This allowed attackers able to exploit another cross-site scripting vulnerability to obtain the Cookie header’s value even if the HttpOnly flag would prevent direct access via JavaScript.

Jenkins no longer shows the value of the Cookie HTTP header on the /whoAmI URL.

XSS vulnerability in Jenkins URL setting

SECURITY-1471 / CVE-2019-10406

Jenkins did not validate or otherwise limit the possible values administrators could specify as Jenkins root URL.

This resulted in a cross-site scripting vulnerability exploitable by users with Overall/Administer permission.

Jenkins now prevents values other than HTTP/HTTPS URLs from being set as Jenkins root URL. Existing instances with invalid root URLs will behave as if no root URL was set.

Note

In case this results in problems, e.g. a valid URL unexpectedly being rejected, set the system property jenkins.model.JenkinsLocationConfiguration.disableUrlValidation to true to disable this restriction. Learn more about system properties in Jenkins.

Project Inheritance Plugin showed secret environment variables defined in Mask Passwords Plugin

SECURITY-351 / CVE-2019-10407

Mask Passwords Plugin allows users to define secret environment variables (typically passwords) to be passed to builds, both globally, and for specific jobs. These environment variables are expected to not be shown.

Project Inheritance Plugin showed the variable values on its Full Build Flow view and included them in the metadata download without masking.

Project Inheritance Plugin no longer shows variables contributed from Mask Password Plugin without masking.

CSRF vulnerability and missing permission check in Project Inheritance Plugin

SECURITY-401 / CVE-2019-10408 (CSRF), CVE-2019-10409 (permission check)

Project Inheritance Plugin allows the creation of projects based on templates defined in the plugin configuration.

A missing permission check in the HTTP endpoint triggering project creation allowed users with Overall/Read permission to create these projects. Additionally, the HTTP endpoint did not require POST requests, resulting in a CSRF vulnerability.

The HTTP endpoint triggering project creation now requires Item/Create permission and submission of requests via POST.

Stored XSS vulnerability in Log Parser Plugin

SECURITY-732 / CVE-2019-10410

Log Parser Plugin did not escape an error message shown when log parsing patterns are invalid. This resulted in a persisted cross-site scripting vulnerability exploitable by attackers able to control the log parsing rules configuration, typically users with Job/Configure permission.

Jenkins applies the missing escaping by default since 2.146 and LTS 2.138.2, so newer Jenkins releases are not affected by this vulnerability.

Log Parser Plugin now escapes all variables displayed in its views.
