Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 14, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jan 28, 2023

Package

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

Affected versions

Patched versions

2.0.5

Description

A man in the middle vulnerability exists in Jenkins CollabNet Plugin 2.0.4 and earlier in CollabNetApp.java, CollabNetPlugin.java, CNFormFieldValidator.java that allows attackers to impersonate any service that Jenkins connects to. CollabNet Plugin 2.0.5 and newer no longer does that. It instead requires users to opt in to disabling SSL/TLS certificate validation by setting the system property hudson.plugins.collabnet.CollabNetPlugin.skipSslValidation to true. This feature applies to connections by this plugin only.

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.
