QID 996899

Date Published: 2024-02-05

QID 996899: Java (Maven) Security Update for org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core (GHSA-53ph-2r2x-vqw8)

Jenkins has a built-in command line interface (CLI) to access Jenkins from a script or shell environment. Since Jenkins 2.217 and LTS 2.222.1, one of the ways to communicate with the CLI is through a WebSocket endpoint. This endpoint relies on the default Jenkins web request authentication functionality, like HTTP Basic authentication with API tokens, or session cookies. This endpoint is enabled when running on a version of Jetty for which Jenkins supports WebSockets. This is the case when using the provided native installers, packages, or the Docker containers, as well as when running Jenkins with the command java -jar jenkins.war.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.
