Cross-site Scripting in Jenkins Dashboard View Plugin

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jun 16, 2021 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Dec 27, 2023

Package

maven org.jenkins-ci.plugins:dashboard-view (Maven)

Affected versions

>= 2.13, < 2.16
< 2.12.1

Patched versions

2.16
2.12.1

Description

Jenkins Dashboard View Plugin prior to 2.16 and 2.12.1 does not escape URLs referenced in Image Dashboard Portlets, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers with View/Configure permission.

As part of this fix, the property for image URLs was changed from url to imageUrl. Existing Configuration as Code configurations are still supported, but exports will emit the new property.

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.
