Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21670)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly impose security restrictions. A remote authenticated attacker can cancel queue items and abort builds of jobs for which they have Item/Cancel permission even when they do not have Item/Read permission.
2) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33195)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of data passed from DNS lookups. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted DNS reqponse and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
3) Missing Authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33197)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authorization process.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in some configurations of ReverseProxy (from net/http/httputil). A remote attacker can drop arbitrary headers and bypass authorization process.
4) Session Fixation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21671)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to the affected product does not invalidate the existing session on login. A remote attacker can use social engineering techniques to gain administrator access to Jenkins.
5) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-34558)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate verification in crypto/tls package in Go when processing X.509 certificates. The application does not properly assert that the type of public key in an X.509 certificate matches the expected type when doing a RSA based key exchange, allowing a malicious TLS server to cause a TLS client to panic.
6) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33198)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when handling a large exponent to the math/big.Rat SetString or UnmarshalText method. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
