XXE vulnerability in Jenkins Selenium HTML report Plugin

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jul 2, 2021 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Oct 27, 2023

Package

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

Affected versions

<= 1.0

Patched versions

1.1

Description

Jenkins Selenium HTML report Plugin 1.0 and earlier does not configure its XML parser to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks.

This allows attackers with the ability to control the report files parsed using this plugin to have Jenkins parse a crafted report file that uses external entities for extraction of secrets from the Jenkins controller or server-side request forgery.

Jenkins Selenium HTML report Plugin 1.1 disables external entity resolution for its XML parser.

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.
