Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Authentication Abuse
    An attacker obtains unauthorized access to an application, service or device either through knowledge of the inherent weaknesses of an authentication mechanism, or by exploiting a flaw in the authentication scheme's implementation. In such an attack an authentication mechanism is functioning but a carefully controlled sequence of events causes the mechanism to grant access to the attacker. This attack may exploit assumptions made by the target's authentication procedures, such as assumptions regarding trust relationships or assumptions regarding the generation of secret values. This attack differs from Authentication Bypass attacks in that Authentication Abuse allows the attacker to be certified as a valid user through illegitimate means, while Authentication Bypass allows the user to access protected material without ever being certified as an authenticated user. This attack does not rely on prior sessions established by successfully authenticating users, as relied upon for the "Exploitation of Session Variables, Resource IDs and other Trusted Credentials" attack patterns.
  • Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible)
    An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
  • Utilizing REST's Trust in the System Resource to Register Man in the Middle
    This attack utilizes a REST(REpresentational State Transfer)-style applications' trust in the system resources and environment to place man in the middle once SSL is terminated. Rest applications premise is that they leverage existing infrastructure to deliver web services functionality. An example of this is a Rest application that uses HTTP Get methods and receives a HTTP response with an XML document. These Rest style web services are deployed on existing infrastructure such as Apache and IIS web servers with no SOAP stack required. Unfortunately from a security standpoint, there frequently is no interoperable identity security mechanism deployed, so Rest developers often fall back to SSL to deliver security. In large data centers, SSL is typically terminated at the edge of the network - at the firewall, load balancer, or router. Once the SSL is terminated the HTTP request is in the clear (unless developers have hashed or encrypted the values, but this is rare). The attacker can utilize a sniffer such as Wireshark to snapshot the credentials, such as username and password that are passed in the clear once SSL is terminated. Once the attacker gathers these credentials, they can submit requests to the web service provider just as authorized user do. There is not typically an authentication on the client side, beyond what is passed in the request itself so once this is compromised, then this is generally sufficient to compromise the service's authentication scheme.
  • Man in the Middle Attack
    This type of attack targets the communication between two components (typically client and server). The attacker places himself in the communication channel between the two components. Whenever one component attempts to communicate with the other (data flow, authentication challenges, etc.), the data first goes to the attacker, who has the opportunity to observe or alter it, and it is then passed on to the other component as if it was never intercepted. This interposition is transparent leaving the two compromised components unaware of the potential corruption or leakage of their communications. The potential for Man-in-the-Middle attacks yields an implicit lack of trust in communication or identify between two components.

therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A DOM-based cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability
    exists in jQuery Core due to improper validation of
    certain tags while being rendered using innerHTML. An
    unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via
    a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script
    code in the user's browser session. (CVE-2011-4969)

  - An integer overflow condition exists in jBCrypt in the
    key stretching implementation in gensalt, within the
    crypt_raw() function, which is triggered when the
    'log_rounds' parameter is set to the maximum value (31).
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to
    cause log_rounds to perform zero rounds, allowing a
    brute-force attack to more easily determine the password
    hash. (CVE-2015-0886)

  - A cross-site request forgery vulnerability (XSRF) exists
    due to several URLs related to group and role management
    not requiring POST form submission. An unauthenticated,
    remote attacker can exploit this to create unused roles,
    delete unused roles, and set group descriptions. Note
    that only Jenkins Enterprise is affected by this issue.
    (CVE-2016-9887)

  - A flaw exists when sensitive data, such as passwords, is
    encrypted using AES-128 with electronic codebook mode
    (ECB). An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit
    this to disclose information about reused passwords.
    (CVE-2017-2598)

  - An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered when
    handling new items due to insufficient permission
    checks. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit
    this, by using the name of an already existing item, to
    create a new item that overwrites the existing item or
    to gain access to related objects. (CVE-2017-2599)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to
    improper permissions being set for accessing node
    monitor data via the remote API. An authenticated,
    remote attacker can exploit this to disclose system
    configuration and runtime information. (CVE-2017-2600)

  - A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists
    due to improper validation of input to names and
    descriptions fields before returning it to users. An
    authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a
    specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script
    code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2017-2601)

  - A flaw exists in the Agent-to-Master Security Subsystem
    because build metadata from the Pipeline suite is not
    properly blacklisted. An authenticated, remote attacker
    can exploit this to overwrite metadata files.
    (CVE-2017-2602)

  - A flaw exists in the config.xml API when handling
    user-initiated agent disconnects, which results in User
    objects being included in the agent API output. An
    authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to
    disclose sensitive information (e.g., user API tokens).
    (CVE-2017-2603)

  - A flaw exists when handling permissions for
    administrative monitors that allows an authenticated,
    remote attacker to access certain provided actions.
    (CVE-2017-2604)

  - A flaw exists in the Re-Key Admin Monitor when
    re-encrypting secrets with a new key that results in old
    secrets, including the encryption key, being stored
    with world-readable permissions. A local attacker can
    exploit this to disclose sensitive information from the
    backup files. (CVE-2017-2605)

  - A flaw exists in the internal API, specifically within
    the Jenkins::getItems() function, when requesting a list
    of items via UnprotectedRootAction. An authenticated,
    remote attacker can exploit this to disclose information
    regarding otherwise restricted items. (CVE-2017-2606)

  - A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists
    due to improper validation of input passed via
    serialized console notes before returning it to users in
    build logs. An authenticated, remote attacker can
    exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to
    execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser
    session. (CVE-2017-2607)

  - A flaw exists in the XStream-based API due to improper
    validation of user-supplied input before it is
    deserialized. An authenticated, remote attacker can
    exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to
    execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2608)

  - A flaw exists in the search box implementation due to
    the autocompletion feature displaying the names of
    restricted views. An authenticated, remote attacker can
    exploit this to disclose sensitive names of views.
    (CVE-2017-2609)

  - A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists
    due to improper validation of input passed in user names
    before returning it to users. An authenticated, remote
    attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted
    request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's
    browser session. (CVE-2017-2610)

  - A flaw exists due to improper validation of permissions
    to the /workspaceCleanup and /fingerprintCleanup URLs.
    An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to
    cause a high load on the master and agents.
    (CVE-2017-2611)

  - A flaw exists due to a failure to properly restrict
    access to JDK download credentials. An authenticated,
    remote attacker can exploit this to overwrite the
    credentials, thereby causing builds to fail.
    (CVE-2017-2612)

  - A cross-site request forgery (XSRF) vulnerability exists
    due to a failure by HTTP GET requests to /user to
    require multiple steps, explicit confirmation, or a
    unique token when performing certain sensitive actions.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by
    convincing a user to follow a specially crafted link, to
    cause the creation of new temporary users.
    (CVE-2017-2613)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability which exists in 
    its re-key admin monitor component due to world readable 
    permissions being set on the directory it creates to 
    store secret information. An unauthenticated, remote 
    attacker can exploit this to disclose information 
    contained in this directory.
