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: 0.70% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 53.2% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: org.jenkins-ci.plugins:htmlpublisher (Maven) 1.32.1; jenkins (Red Hat:ocp_tools:4.12::el8) 0:2.440.3.1716445200-3.el8; jenkins-2-plugins (Red Hat:ocp_tools:4.12::el8) 0:4.12.1716445211-1.el8.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to org.jenkins-ci.plugins:htmlpublisher (Maven) 1.32.1; jenkins (Red Hat:ocp_tools:4.12::el8) 0:2.440.3.1716445200-3.el8; jenkins-2-plugins (Red Hat:ocp_tools:4.12::el8) 0:4.12.1716445211-1.el8 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Jenkins HTML Publisher Plugin 1.16 through 1.32 (both inclusive) does not properly sanitize input, allowing attackers with Item/Configure permission to implement cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and to determine whether a path on the Jenkins controller file system exists.
