Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File in Jenkins Configuration as Code Plugin

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 24, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Dec 6, 2023

Package

maven io.jenkins:configuration-as-code (Maven)

Affected versions

<= 1.26

Patched versions

1.27

Description

Configuration as Code Plugin logs the changes it applies to the Jenkins system log. Secrets such as passwords should be masked (i.e. replaced with asterisks) in that log to prevent accidental disclosure. Configuration as Code Plugin inspects the type and looks for a field, getter, or constructor argument corresponding to the property, making the secret detection much more robust for the purpose of log message masking. This was implemented in the fix for SECURITY-1279 in the 2019-07-31 security advisory.

That fix was incomplete and did not cover a log message written to the logger io.jenkins.plugins.casc.impl.configurators.DataBoundConfigurator.

Configuration as Code Plugin now uses the same secret detection for these log messages.

As a workaround, administrators can configure the logging level of the logger io.jenkins.plugins.casc.impl.configurators.DataBoundConfigurator to a level that does not include these messages. Configuration as Code Plugin 1.25 and earlier logs these messages at the INFO level, Configuration as Code Plugin 1.26 logs them at FINE. See the logging documentation for details.

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.
