AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
Jenkins Lockable Resources Plugin 2.4 and earlier has an XSS vulnerability where resource names are not escaped in JavaScript code, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript.
Vulnerability
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Jenkins Lockable Resources Plugin, version 2.4 and earlier [1][2]. The plugin fails to escape resource names when they are rendered in generated JavaScript code on web pages [3]. An attacker who can control resource names—for example, by configuring a lockable resource with a malicious name—can inject arbitrary JavaScript into the plugin's web interface [2].
Exploitation
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs the ability to create or modify lockable resources in Jenkins, which typically requires at least Overall/Read and Job/Configure permissions, or the ability to rename resources via the Jenkins configuration [1][3]. The attacker sets a resource name containing malicious JavaScript code. When Jenkins displays pages that include this resource name, the unsanitized name is embedded into JavaScript, and the attacker's script executes in the context of the victim's browser session [3].
Impact
Successful exploitation allows the attacker to perform arbitrary actions in the context of the victim's browser, including reading sensitive information from the Jenkins page, modifying Jenkins configurations, or performing actions as the victim user [2][3]. The impact is limited to the browser session of the victim and the permissions of the user viewing the page, but it can lead to credential theft or further compromise of the Jenkins instance.
Mitigation
The Jenkins Lockable Resources Plugin version 2.5 fixed this vulnerability by properly escaping resource names in its generated JavaScript code [3][4]. The fix was released as part of the Jenkins Security Advisory on 2019-03-25 [3]. Users should update the plugin to version 2.5 or later. No workaround is available for earlier versions; updating is the only mitigation [3].
