Descriptions****Missing hostname validation in Mailer Plugin

SECURITY-1813 / CVE-2020-2252
Severity (CVSS): Medium
Affected plugin: mailer
Description:

Mailer Plugin 1.32 and earlier does not perform hostname validation when connecting to the configured SMTP server. This lack of validation could be abused using a man-in-the-middle attack to intercept these connections.

Mailer Plugin 1.32.1 validates the SMTP hostname when connecting via TLS by default. In Mailer Plugin 1.32 and earlier, administrators can set the Java system property mail.smtp.ssl.checkserveridentity to true on startup to enable this protection.

In case of problems, this protection can be disabled again by setting the Java system property mail.smtp.ssl.checkserveridentity to false on startup.

Missing hostname validation in Email Extension Plugin

SECURITY-1851 / CVE-2020-2253
Severity (CVSS): Medium
Affected plugin: email-ext
Description:

Email Extension Plugin 2.75 and earlier does not perform hostname validation when connecting to the configured SMTP server. This lack of validation could be abused using a man-in-the-middle attack to intercept these connections.

Email Extension Plugin 2.76 validates the SMTP hostname when connecting via TLS by default. In Email Extension Plugin 2.75 and earlier, administrators can set the Java system property mail.smtp.ssl.checkserveridentity to true on startup to enable this protection. Alternatively, this protection can be enabled (or disabled in the new version) via the ‘Advanced Email Properties’ field in the plugin’s configuration in Configure System.

In case of problems, this protection can be disabled again by setting mail.smtp.ssl.checkserveridentity to false using either method.

Path traversal vulnerability in Blue Ocean Plugin

SECURITY-1956 / CVE-2020-2254
Severity (CVSS): Medium
Affected plugin: blueocean
Description:

Blue Ocean Plugin 1.23.2 and earlier provides an undocumented feature flag, blueocean.features.GIT_READ_SAVE_TYPE, that when set to the value clone allows an attacker with Item/Configure or Item/Create permission to read arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller file system.

Blue Ocean Plugin 1.23.3 no longer includes this feature and redirects existing usage to a safer alternative.

Missing permission check in Blue Ocean Plugin

SECURITY-1961 / CVE-2020-2255
Severity (CVSS): Medium
Affected plugin: blueocean
Description:

Updated 2020-09-16: This entry previously misidentified the problematic behavior. The HTTP request itself is legitimate, but only authorized users should be able to perform it.

Blue Ocean Plugin 1.23.2 and earlier does not perform permission checks in several HTTP endpoints implementing connection tests.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified URL.

Blue Ocean Plugin 1.23.3 requires Item/Create permission to perform these connection tests.
