Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs
    In applications, particularly web applications, access to functionality is mitigated by the authorization framework, whose job it is to map ACLs to elements of the application's functionality; particularly URL's for web apps. In the case that the administrator failed to specify an ACL for a particular element, an attacker may be able to access it with impunity. An attacker with the ability to access functionality not properly constrained by ACLs can obtain sensitive information and possibly compromise the entire application. Such an attacker can access resources that must be available only to users at a higher privilege level, can access management sections of the application or can run queries for data that he is otherwise not supposed to.
  • Privilege Abuse
    An adversary is able to exploit features of the target that should be reserved for privileged users or administrators but are exposed to use by lower or non-privileged accounts. Access to sensitive information and functionality must be controlled to ensure that only authorized users are able to access these resources. If access control mechanisms are absent or misconfigured, a user may be able to access resources that are intended only for higher level users. An adversary may be able to exploit this to utilize a less trusted account to gain information and perform activities reserved for more trusted accounts. This attack differs from privilege escalation and other privilege stealing attacks in that the adversary never actually escalates their privileges but instead is able to use a lesser degree of privilege to access resources that should be (but are not) reserved for higher privilege accounts. Likewise, the adversary does not exploit trust or subvert systems - all control functionality is working as configured but the configuration does not adequately protect sensitive resources at an appropriate level.
  • Directory Indexing
    An adversary crafts a request to a target that results in the target listing/indexing the content of a directory as output. One common method of triggering directory contents as output is to construct a request containing a path that terminates in a directory name rather than a file name since many applications are configured to provide a list of the directory's contents when such a request is received. An adversary can use this to explore the directory tree on a target as well as learn the names of files. This can often end up revealing test files, backup files, temporary files, hidden files, configuration files, user accounts, script contents, as well as naming conventions, all of which can be used by an attacker to mount additional attacks.
  • Accessing, Modifying or Executing Executable Files
    An attack of this type exploits a system's configuration that allows an attacker to either directly access an executable file, for example through shell access; or in a possible worst case allows an attacker to upload a file and then execute it. Web servers, ftp servers, and message oriented middleware systems which have many integration points are particularly vulnerable, because both the programmers and the administrators must be in synch regarding the interfaces and the correct privileges for each interface.
  • Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the configuration of access controls and is able to bypass the intended protection that these measures guard against and thereby obtain unauthorized access to the system or network. Sensitive functionality should always be protected with access controls. However configuring all but the most trivial access control systems can be very complicated and there are many opportunities for mistakes. If an attacker can learn of incorrectly configured access security settings, they may be able to exploit this in an attack. Most commonly, attackers would take advantage of controls that provided too little protection for sensitive activities in order to perform actions that should be denied to them. In some circumstances, an attacker may be able to take advantage of overly restrictive access control policies, initiating denial of services (if an application locks because it unexpectedly failed to be granted access) or causing other legitimate actions to fail due to security. The latter class of attacks, however, is usually less severe and easier to detect than attacks based on inadequate security restrictions. This attack pattern differs from CAPEC 1, "Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs" in that the latter describes attacks where sensitive functionality lacks access controls, where, in this pattern, the access control is present, but incorrectly configured.

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.
