Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Mar 6, 2025 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Mar 6, 2025

Package

maven org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core (Maven)

Affected versions

>= 2.493, < 2.500
< 2.492.2

Patched versions

2.500
2.492.2

Description

Jenkins 2.499 and earlier, LTS 2.492.1 and earlier does not redact encrypted values of secrets when accessing config.xml of agents via REST API or CLI.

This allows attackers with Agent/Extended Read permission to view encrypted values of secrets.

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.
