Jenkins : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2017 (XSS)

The Datadog Plugin stores an API key to access the Datadog service in the global Jenkins configuration. While the API key is stored encrypted on disk, it was transmitted in plain text as part of the configuration form. This could result in exposure of the API key for example through browser extensions or cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. The Datadog Plugin now encrypts the API key transmitted to administrators viewing the global configuration form.

The custom Details view of the Static Analysis Utilities based OWASP Dependency-Check Plugin, was vulnerable to a persisted cross-site scripting vulnerability: Malicious users able to influence the input to this plugin could insert arbitrary HTML into this view.

The custom Details view of the Static Analysis Utilities based DRY Plugin, was vulnerable to a persisted cross-site scripting vulnerability: Malicious users able to influence the input to this plugin could insert arbitrary HTML into this view.

The Details view of some Static Analysis Utilities based plugins, was vulnerable to a persisted cross-site scripting vulnerability: Malicious users able to influence the input to these plugins, for example the console output which is parsed to extract build warnings (Warnings Plugin), could insert arbitrary HTML into this view.

The Sidebar Link plugin allows users able to configure jobs, views, and agents to add entries to the sidebar of these objects. There was no input validation, which meant users were able to use javascript: schemes for these links.

Jenkins through 2.93 allows remote authenticated administrators to conduct XSS attacks via a crafted tool name in a job configuration form, as demonstrated by the JDK tool in Jenkins core and the Ant tool in the Ant plugin, aka SECURITY-624.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Build Failure Analyzer plugin before 1.16.0 in Jenkins allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via an unspecified parameter.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Extra Columns plugin before 1.17 in Jenkins allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML by leveraging failure to filter tool tips through the configured markup formatter.
