Missing permission check in Jenkins requests-plugin Plugin allows viewing pending requests

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 24, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Dec 15, 2023

Package

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

Affected versions

<= 2.2.6

Patched versions

2.2.7

Description

Jenkins requests-plugin Plugin 2.2.6 and earlier does not perform a permission check in an HTTP endpoint.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to view the list of pending requests.

Jenkins requests-plugin Plugin 2.2.7 requires Overall/Administer permission to view the list of pending requests.

The previous sentence originally stated that Overall/Read permission was newly required. This statement was incorrect and has been fixed on 2021-07-05.

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.
