CVE-2024-28156: Jenkins Build Monitor View Plugin stored XSS via unescaped view names
Jenkins · Build Monitor View
The Jenkins Build Monitor View Plugin (1.14-860.vd06ef2568b_3f and earlier) does not escape Build Monitor View names, allowing stored cross-site scripting. An attacker who can configure Build Monitor Views can plant script that executes in the browsers of users viewing those views, which matters because Jenkins sessions often carry broad build and deployment privileges.
Description
Jenkins Build Monitor View Plugin 1.14-860.vd06ef2568b_3f and earlier does not escape Build Monitor View names, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers able to configure Build Monitor Views.
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
Automated analysis
medium priorityCVSS rates it medium (5.4) and it requires authenticated configuration plus victim interaction, but the very high EPSS score and stored XSS in a CI system warrant prompt patching.
What it is
The Jenkins Build Monitor View Plugin (1.14-860.vd06ef2568b_3f and earlier) does not escape Build Monitor View names, allowing stored cross-site scripting. An attacker who can configure Build Monitor Views can plant script that executes in the browsers of users viewing those views, which matters because Jenkins sessions often carry broad build and deployment privileges.
Impact
An attacker gains script execution in the context of other users' Jenkins sessions, enabling session theft, credential capture, or actions performed as the victim. The CVSS scope change (S:C) indicates impact can extend beyond the vulnerable component.
Attack surface
Reached over the network through the Jenkins web UI when a Build Monitor View is rendered. The vector requires low privileges (PR:L) and user interaction (UI:R), so the attacker must be able to configure Build Monitor Views and a victim must view the affected page.
Exploitation
Not listed in CISA KEV and no public exploit or exploitation tags appear in the references, but EPSS is very high (0.80173, 99.6th percentile), indicating elevated predicted likelihood of exploitation.
What to do
- Upgrade the Build Monitor View Plugin to a version newer than 1.14-860.vd06ef2568b_3f per the Jenkins security advisory.
- If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict who can configure Build Monitor Views to trusted administrators only.
- Review and remove any untrusted or unexpected Build Monitor Views and their names.
- Apply Jenkins hardening such as Content Security Policy and routine plugin inventory review to limit XSS impact.
Detection
- Search Jenkins logs and audit trails for creation or modification of Build Monitor Views by unexpected users.
- Inspect stored Build Monitor View names for HTML or script content.
- Monitor web access logs for requests to Build Monitor View pages followed by anomalous client-side activity.
- Review Jenkins user sessions for signs of hijacking or unexpected administrative actions after viewing Build Monitor Views.
