Lack of type validation in agent related REST API in Jenkins

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 24, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Dec 22, 2023

Package

maven org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core (Maven)

Affected versions

>= 2.278, <= 2.286
< 2.277.2

Patched versions

2.287
2.277.2

Description

Jenkins 2.286 and earlier, LTS 2.277.1 and earlier does not validate the type of object created after loading the data submitted to the config.xml REST API endpoint of a node.

This allows attackers with Computer/Configure permission to replace a node with one of a different type.

Jenkins 2.287, LTS 2.277.2 validates the type of object created and rejects objects of unexpected types.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
