Jenkins GitHub Authentication Plugin Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 24, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Oct 26, 2023

Package

maven org.jenkins-ci.plugins:github-oauth (Maven)

Affected versions

<= 0.31

Patched versions

0.32

Description

Jenkins GitHub Authentication Plugin did not manage the state parameter of OAuth to prevent CSRF. This allowed an attacker to catch the redirect URL provided during the authentication process using OAuth and send it to the victim. If the victim was already connected to Jenkins, their Jenkins account would be attached to the attacker’s GitHub account.

The state parameter is now correctly managed.

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.

Weaknesses

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor. Learn more on MITRE.
