Jenkins Jira Plugin vulnerable to exposure of system-scoped credentials

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Nov 29, 2023 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Dec 5, 2023

Package

maven org.jenkins-ci.plugins:jira (Maven)

Affected versions

< 3.12

Patched versions

3.12

Description

Jenkins Jira Plugin 3.11 and earlier does not set the appropriate context for credentials lookup, allowing the use of system-scoped credentials otherwise reserved for the global configuration.

This allows attackers with Item/Configure permission to access and capture credentials they are not entitled to.

Jira Plugin 3.12 defines the appropriate context for credentials lookup.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
