CSRF vulnerability in MongoDB Plugin

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 24, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jan 9, 2024

Package

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

Affected versions

<= 1.3

Patched versions

None

Description

Jenkins MongoDB Plugin 1.3 and earlier does not perform permission checks in methods implementing form validation.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to gain access to some metadata of any arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller.

Additionally, these form validation methods do not require POST requests, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

As of publication of this advisory, there is no fix.

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.
