Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.28% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: org.jenkins-ci.plugins:oic-auth (Maven) 4.229.vf736b.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to org.jenkins-ci.plugins:oic-auth (Maven) 4.229.vf736b or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Jenkins OpenId Connect Authentication Plugin 2.6 and earlier stores a password of a local user account used as an anti-lockout feature in a recoverable format, allowing attackers with access to the Jenkins controller file system to recover the plain text password of that account, likely gaining administrator access to Jenkins.
