Missing permission checks in Jenkins Periodic Backup Plugin allow every user to change settings
CVE-2017-1000086 · GHSA-5293-3fgp-cr3x
- Affected
- Maven org.jenkins-ci.plugins:periodicbackup <= 1.4
- Fixed in
- 1.5· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- The Periodic Backup Plugin did not perform any permission checks, allowing any user with Overall/Read access to change its settings, trigger backups, restore backups, download backups, and also delete all previous backups via log rotation. Additionally, the plugin was not requiring requests to its API be sent via POST, thereby opening itself to Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 1.5 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
