Jenkins before versions 2.44, 2.32.2 is vulnerable to a remote code execution vulnerability involving the deserialization of various types in javax.imageio in XStream-based APIs (SECURITY-383).

Weakness

The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Jenkins Jenkins * 2.44 (including)
Jenkins Ubuntu precise *
Jenkins Ubuntu upstream *

Potential Mitigations

  • Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
  • An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
