NONE Summary
An information exposure vulnerability exists in Jenkins 2.153 and earlier, LTS 2.138.3 and earlier in DirectoryBrowserSupport.java that allows attackers with the ability to control build output to browse the file system on agents running builds beyond the duration of the build using the workspace browser.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Subverting Environment Variable Values The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
- Footprinting An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
- 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.
- Browser Fingerprinting An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
- Session Credential Falsification through Prediction This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

| description | The version of Jenkins running on the remote web server is prior to 2.154 or is a version of Jenkins LTS prior to 2.138.4 or 2.150.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities: - A command execution vulnerability exists in the Stapler web framework used in Jenkins due to certain methods being invoked via crafted URLs. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to invoke methods never intended to be invoked in this way, which could potentially lead to command execution. - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in Jenkins due to a forced migration of user records. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via submitting a crafted username to Jenkins login, which could potentially prevent valid users from being able to log in. - An arbitrary file read vulnerability exists in Jenkins due to the workspace browser following symlinks outside the workspace. An attacker could exploit this to read arbitrary files outside of the workspace and disclose sensitive information. - A potential denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in Jenkins due to an error in cron expression form validation. An attacker can exploit this issue, via a crafted cron expression, to cause the application to stop responding. Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application |
