Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jul 2, 2021 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Oct 27, 2023

Package

maven org.jenkins-ci.plugins:seleniumhtmlreport (Maven)

Affected versions

<= 1.0

Patched versions

1.1

Description

Jenkins Selenium HTML report Plugin 1.0 and earlier does not configure its XML parser to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks.

This allows attackers with the ability to control the report files parsed using this plugin to have Jenkins parse a crafted report file that uses external entities for extraction of secrets from the Jenkins controller or server-side request forgery.

Jenkins Selenium HTML report Plugin 1.1 disables external entity resolution for its XML parser.
