Cross-site Scripting in Jenkins TestNG Results Plugin

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jul 1, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Feb 2, 2023

Package

maven org.jenkins-ci.plugins:testng-plugin (Maven)

Affected versions

<= 554.va4a552116332

Patched versions

555.va0d5f66521e3

Description

TestNG Results Plugin has options in its post-build step configuration to not escape test descriptions and exception messages. If those options are unchecked, TestNG Results Plugin 554.va4a552116332 and earlier renders the unescaped text provided in test results. This results in a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers able to configure jobs or control test results. TestNG Results Plugin 555.va0d5f66521e3 by default ignores the user-level options to not escape content. Administrators who want to restore this functionality must set the Java system property hudson.plugins.testng.Publisher.allowUnescapedHTML to true.

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.
