CVE-2022-24108: Responsive OpenCart 3.0.x & OpenCart 2.x Module - So Listing Tabs

Jenkins JDK Parameter Plugin 1.0 and earlier does not escape the name and description of JDK parameters on views displaying parameters, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers with Item/Configure permission.

This advisory announces vulnerabilities in the following Jenkins deliverables:

*   Application Detector Plugin
*   Autocomplete Parameter Plugin
*   Blue Ocean Plugin
*   Git Plugin
*   GitLab Plugin
*   Global Variable String Parameter Plugin
*   JDK Parameter Plugin
*   Mercurial Plugin
*   Multiselect parameter Plugin
*   Pipeline SCM API for Blue Ocean Plugin
*   Pipeline: Groovy Plugin
*   Promoted Builds (Simple) Plugin
*   Random String Parameter Plugin
*   REPO Plugin
*   Rundeck Plugin
*   Script Security Plugin
*   Selection tasks Plugin
*   SSH Plugin
*   Storable Configs Plugin
*   vboxwrapper Plugin
*   WMI Windows Agents Plugin

**Descriptions****Sandbox bypass vulnerability through implicitly allowlisted platform Groovy files in Pipeline: Groovy Plugin**

**SECURITY-359 / CVE-2022-30945**

Pipeline: Groovy Plugin allows pipelines to load Groovy source files. This is intended to be used to allow Global Shared Libraries to execute without sandbox protection.

In Pipeline: Groovy Plugin 2689.v434009a\_31b\_f1 and earlier, any Groovy source files bundled with Jenkins core and plugins could be loaded this way and their methods executed. If a suitable Groovy source file is available on the classpath of Jenkins, sandbox protections can be bypassed.

Note

The Jenkins security team has been unable to identify any Groovy source files in Jenkins core or plugins that would allow attackers to execute dangerous code. While the severity of this issue is declared as High due to the potential impact, successful exploitation is considered very unlikely.

Pipeline: Groovy Plugin 2692.v76b\_089ccd026 restricts which Groovy source files can be loaded in Pipelines.

Groovy source files in public plugins intended to be executed in sandboxed pipelines have been identified and added to an allowlist. The new extension point org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.GroovySourceFileAllowlist allows plugins to add specific Groovy source files to that allowlist if necessary, but creation of plugin-specific Pipeline DSLs is strongly discouraged.

**CSRF vulnerability in Script Security Plugin**

**SECURITY-2116 / CVE-2022-30946**

Script Security Plugin 1158.v7c1b\_73a\_69a\_08 and earlier does not require POST requests for a form validation endpoint, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

This vulnerability allows attackers to have Jenkins send an HTTP request to an attacker-specified webserver.

This form validation method no longer sends HTTP requests in Script Security Plugin 1172.v35f6a\_0b\_8207e.

**Multiple SCM plugins can check out from the controller file system**

**SECURITY-2478 / CVE-2022-30947 (Git), CVE-2022-30948 (Mercurial), CVE-2022-30949 (REPO)**

SCMs support a number of different URL schemes, including local file system paths (e.g. using file: URLs).

Historically in Jenkins, only agents checked out from SCM, and if multiple projects share the same agent, there is no expected isolation between builds besides using different workspaces unless overridden. Some Pipeline-related features check out SCMs from the Jenkins controller as well.

This allows attackers able to configure pipelines to check out some SCM repositories stored on the Jenkins controller’s file system using local paths as SCM URLs, obtaining limited information about other projects' SCM contents. The following Jenkins plugins are known to be affected:

*   Git 4.11.1 and earlier
    
*   Mercurial 2.16 and earlier
    
*   REPO 1.14.0 and earlier
    

Affected plugins have been updated to reject local file paths being checked out on the controller:

*   Git 4.11.2
    
*   Mercurial 2.16.1
    
*   REPO 1.15.0
    

**Multiple vulnerabilities in Windows Remote Command library in WMI Windows Agents Plugin**

**SECURITY-2604 / CVE-2022-30950 (buffer overflow), CVE-2022-30951 (access control)**

WMI Windows Agents Plugin 1.8 and earlier includes the Windows Remote Command library. It provides a general-purpose remote command execution capability that Jenkins uses to check if Java is available, and if not, to install it.

This library has a buffer overflow vulnerability that may allow users able to connect to a named pipe to execute commands on the Windows agent machine.

Additionally, while the processes are started as the user who connects to the named pipe, no access control takes place, potentially allowing users to start processes even if they’re not allowed to log in.

WMI Windows Agents Plugin 1.8.1 no longer includes the Windows Remote Command library. A Java runtime is expected to be available on agent machines and WMI Windows Agents Plugin 1.8.1 does not install a JDK automatically otherwise.

Note

WMI Windows Agents Plugin is the only Jenkins project deliverable the Jenkins project security team is aware of that includes the Windows Remote Command library.

**User-scoped credentials exposed to other users by Pipeline SCM API for Blue Ocean Plugin**

**SECURITY-714 / CVE-2022-30952**

When pipelines are created using the pipeline creation wizard in Blue Ocean, the credentials used are stored in the per-user credentials store of the user creating the pipeline. To allow pipelines to use this credential to scan repositories and checkout from SCM, the Blue Ocean Credentials Provider allows pipelines to access a specific credential from the per-user credentials store in Pipeline SCM API for Blue Ocean Plugin 1.25.3 and earlier.

As a result, attackers with Job/Configure permission can rewrite job configurations in a way that lets them access and capture any attacker-specified credential from any user’s private credentials store.

Pipeline SCM API for Blue Ocean Plugin 1.25.4 deprecates the Blue Ocean Credentials Provider and disables it by default. As a result, all jobs initially set up using the Blue Ocean pipeline creation wizard and configured to use the credential specified at that time will no longer be able to access the credential, resulting in failures to scan repositories, checkout from SCM, etc. unless the repository is public and can be accessed without credentials.

Note

This also applies to newly created pipelines after Pipeline SCM API for Blue Ocean Plugin has been updated to 1.25.4.

Administrators should reconfigure affected pipelines to use a credential from the Jenkins credential store or a folder credential store. See this help page on cloudbees.com to learn more.

To re-enable the Blue Ocean Credentials Provider, set the Java system property io.jenkins.blueocean.rest.impl.pipeline.credential.BlueOceanCredentialsProvider.enabled to true. Doing so is discouraged, as that will restore the unsafe behavior.

Note

While Credentials Plugin provides the _Configure Credential Providers_ UI to enable or disable certain credentials providers, enabling the Blue Ocean Credentials Provider there is not enough in Pipeline SCM API for Blue Ocean Plugin 1.25.4. Both the UI and system property need to enable the Blue Ocean Credentials Provider.

Administrators not immediately able to update Blue Ocean are advised to disable the Blue Ocean Credentials Provider through the UI at _Manage Jenkins » Configure Credential Providers_ and to reconfigure affected pipelines to use a credential from the Jenkins credential store or a folder credential store.

**CSRF vulnerability and missing permission checks in Blue Ocean Plugin**

**SECURITY-2502 / CVE-2022-30953 (CSRF), CVE-2022-30954 (permission check)**

Blue Ocean Plugin 1.25.3 and earlier does not perform permission checks in several HTTP endpoints.

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

Additionally, these endpoints do not require POST requests, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

Blue Ocean Plugin 1.25.4 requires POST requests and the appropriate permissions for the affected HTTP endpoints.

**Missing permission check in GitLab Plugin allows enumerating credentials IDs**

**SECURITY-2753 / CVE-2022-30955**

GitLab Plugin 1.5.31 and earlier does not perform a permission check in an HTTP endpoint.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to enumerate credentials IDs of credentials stored in Jenkins. Those can be used as part of an attack to capture the credentials using another vulnerability.

An enumeration of credentials IDs in GitLab Plugin 1.5.32 requires the appropriate permissions.

**Stored XSS vulnerability in Rundeck Plugin**

**SECURITY-2600 / CVE-2022-30956**

Rundeck Plugin 3.6.10 and earlier does not restrict URL schemes in Rundeck webhook submissions.

This results in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers able to submit crafted Rundeck webhook payloads.

Rundeck Plugin 3.6.11 sanitizes URLs submitted in Rundeck webhook payloads.

**Missing permission check in SSH Plugin allows enumerating credentials IDs**

**SECURITY-2315 / CVE-2022-30957**

SSH Plugin 2.6.1 and earlier does not perform a permission check in an HTTP endpoint.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to enumerate credentials IDs of credentials stored in Jenkins. Those can be used as part of an attack to capture the credentials using another vulnerability.

As of publication of this advisory, there is no fix.

**CSRF vulnerability and missing permission checks in SSH Plugin allow capturing credentials**

**SECURITY-2093 / CVE-2022-30958 (CSRF), CVE-2022-30959 (permission check)**

SSH Plugin 2.6.1 and earlier does not perform a permission check in an HTTP endpoint.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified SSH server using attacker-specified credentials IDs obtained through another method, capturing credentials stored in Jenkins.

Additionally, this endpoint does not require POST requests, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

As of publication of this advisory, there is no fix.

**Stored XSS vulnerabilities in multiple plugins providing additional parameter types**

**SECURITY-2717 / CVE-2022-30960 (Application Detector), CVE-2022-30961 (Autocomplete Parameter), CVE-2022-30962 (Global Variable String Parameter), CVE-2022-30963 (JDK Parameter), CVE-2022-30964 (Multiselect parameter), CVE-2022-30965 (Promoted Builds (Simple)), CVE-2022-30966 (Random String Parameter), CVE-2022-30967 (Selection tasks), CVE-2022-30968 (vboxwrapper)**

Multiple plugins do not escape the name and description of the parameter types they provide:

*   Application Detector Plugin 1.0.8 and earlier (SECURITY-2732 / CVE-2022-30960)
    
*   Autocomplete Parameter Plugin 1.1 and earlier (SECURITY-2729 / CVE-2022-30961)
    
*   Global Variable String Parameter Plugin 1.2 and earlier (SECURITY-2715 / CVE-2022-30962)
    
*   JDK Parameter Plugin 1.0 and earlier (SECURITY-2713 / CVE-2022-30963)
    
*   Multiselect parameter Plugin 1.3 and earlier (SECURITY-2726 / CVE-2022-30964)
    
*   Promoted Builds (Simple) Plugin 1.9 and earlier (SECURITY-2720 / CVE-2022-30965)
    
*   Random String Parameter Plugin 1.0 and earlier (SECURITY-2722 / CVE-2022-30966)
    
*   Selection tasks Plugin 1.0 and earlier (SECURITY-2728 / CVE-2022-30967)
    
*   vboxwrapper Plugin 1.3 and earlier (SECURITY-2734 / CVE-2022-30968)
    

This results in stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilites exploitable by attackers with Item/Configure permission.

Exploitation of these vulnerabilities requires that parameters are listed on another page, like the "Build With Parameters" and "Parameters" pages provided by Jenkins (core), and that those pages are not hardened to prevent exploitation. Jenkins (core) has prevented exploitation of vulnerabilities of this kind on the "Build With Parameters" and "Parameters" pages since 2.44 and LTS 2.32.2 as part of the SECURITY-353 / CVE-2017-2601 fix. Additionally, several plugins have previously been updated to list parameters in a way that prevents exploitation by default, see SECURITY-2617 in the 2022-04-12 security advisory for a list.

The following plugins have been updated to escape the name and description of the parameter types they provide in the versions specified:

*   Application Detector Plugin 1.0.9
    
*   Multiselect parameter Plugin 1.4
    

As of publication of this advisory, there is no fix available for the following plugins:

*   Autocomplete Parameter Plugin 1.1 and earlier (SECURITY-2729 / CVE-2022-30961)
    
*   Global Variable String Parameter Plugin 1.2 and earlier (SECURITY-2715 / CVE-2022-30962)
    
*   JDK Parameter Plugin 1.0 and earlier (SECURITY-2713 / CVE-2022-30963)
    
*   Promoted Builds (Simple) Plugin 1.9 and earlier (SECURITY-2720 / CVE-2022-30965)
    
*   Random String Parameter Plugin 1.0 and earlier (SECURITY-2722 / CVE-2022-30966)
    
*   Selection tasks Plugin 1.0 and earlier (SECURITY-2728 / CVE-2022-30967)
    
*   vboxwrapper Plugin 1.3 and earlier (SECURITY-2734 / CVE-2022-30968)
    

**CSRF vulnerability in Autocomplete Parameter Plugin results in RCE**

**SECURITY-2322 / CVE-2022-30969**

Autocomplete Parameter Plugin 1.1 and earlier does not require POST requests for a form validation endpoint executing a provided Groovy script, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code without sandbox protection if the victim is an administrator.

As of publication of this advisory, there is no fix.

**Stored XSS vulnerability in Autocomplete Parameter Plugin**

**SECURITY-2267 / CVE-2022-30970**

Autocomplete Parameter Plugin 1.1 and earlier references Dropdown Autocomplete parameter and Auto Complete String parameter names in an unsafe manner from Javascript embedded in view definitions.

This results in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers with Item/Configure permission.

Note

While this looks similar to SECURITY-2729, this is an independent problem and exploitable even on views rendering parameters that otherwise attempt to prevent XSS vulnerabilities in parameter names.

As of publication of this advisory, there is no fix.

**XXE vulnerability in Storable Configs Plugin**

**SECURITY-1969 / CVE-2022-30971 (XXE), CVE-2022-30972 (CSRF)**

Storable Configs Plugin 1.0 and earlier does not configure its XML parser to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks.

This allows attackers with Item/Configure permission to have Jenkins parse a crafted file that uses external entities for extraction of secrets from the Jenkins controller or server-side request forgery.

Additionally, the HTTP endpoint calling the XML parser does not require POST requests, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

As of publication of this advisory, there is no fix.

CVE-2022-30959: Jenkins Security Advisory 2022-05-17

Microsoft researchers say they are tracking a botnet that is leveraging bugs in the Spring Framework and WordPress plugins.

Microsoft researchers say they are tracking a botnet that is leveraging bugs in the Spring Framework and WordPress plugins.

Unpatched vulnerabilities in the Spring Framework and WordPress plugins are being exploited by cybercriminals behind the Sysrv botnet to target Linux and Windows systems. The goal, according to researchers, is to infect systems with cryptomining malware.

The botnet variant is being called Sysrv-K by Microsoft Security Intelligence researchers that posted a thread on Twitter revealing details of the botnet variant.

Researchers said criminals behind Sysrv-K have programmed their bot army to scan for instances of the flaws in WordPress plugins as well as a recent remote code execution (RCE) flaw in the Spring Cloud Gateway (CVE-2022-22947).  
  
“These vulnerabilities, which have all been addressed by security updates, include old vulnerabilities in WordPress plugins, as well as newer vulnerabilities like CVE-2022-22947. Once running on a device, Sysrv-K deploys a cryptocurrency miner,” said Microsoft Security Intelligence in a tweet.

> We encountered a new variant of the Sysrv botnet, known for exploiting vulnerabilities in web apps and databases to install coin miners on both Windows and Linux systems. The new variant, which we call Sysrv-K, sports additional exploits and can gain control of web servers.
> 
> — Microsoft Security Intelligence (@MsftSecIntel) May 13, 2022

The Spring Cloud is an open-source library that eases the process of developing the JVM application for the cloud and the Spring Cloud Gateway provides a library for building API Gateways for Spring and Java.

The CVE-2022-22947 is a code injection vulnerability in the Spring Cloud Gateway library and an attacker can perform remote code execution (RCE) on unpatched hosts. The flaw affected the VMware and Oracle products and it has been marked as critical by both the vendors.

****Working of Sysrv-K****

The Microsoft security intelligence team warned that Sysrv-K can gain control of the web servers by scanning the internet for various vulnerabilities to install itself. The vulnerabilities range from RCE to an arbitrary file download and path traversal to remote file disclosure.

The security researcher at Lacework Labs and Juniper Threat Labs observed two main components of malware that is to spread itself across networks by scanning the internet for vulnerable systems and installing the XMRig cryptocurrency miner (used for mining Monero) following a surge of activity in March 2021.

The new feature of Sysrv-K is that it scans for WordPress config files and their backups to steal credentials and gain access to the webserver. Apart from this “Sysvr-K has updated communication capabilities, including the ability to use a Telegram bot” Microsoft added.

“Like older variants, Sysrv-K scans for SSH keys, IP addresses, and host names, and then attempts to connect to other systems in the network via SSH to deploy copies of itself. This could put the rest of the network at risk of becoming part of the Sysrv-K botnet” the Microsoft security intelligence team reported.

Microsoft advised the organizations to secure internet-facing Linux or Windows systems, timely apply security updates, and protect credentials. “Microsoft Defender for Endpoint detects Sysrv-K and older Sysrv variants, as well as related behavior and payloads,” they added.

The critical RCE, Worms, and 6 Zero-days including (CVE-2022-22947) were faced by Microsoft in January 2022.
