Improper permission checks in Jenkins Swarm Plugin

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 24, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Dec 21, 2023

Package

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

Affected versions

< 3.21

Patched versions

3.21

Description

Swarm Plugin adds API endpoints to add or remove agent labels. In Swarm Plugin 3.20 and earlier these only require a global Swarm secret to use, and no regular permission check is performed. This allows users with Agent/Create permission to add or remove labels of any agent.

Swarm Plugin 3.21 requires Agent/Configure permission for the affected agent to these endpoints. It no longer uses the global Swarm secret for these API endpoints.

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.
