CVE-2017-1000354 - log back

CVE-2017-1000354 created at 25 Sep 2019 19:31:40
Severity
+ High
Remote
+ Remote
Type
+ Privilege escalation
Description
+ The login command available in the remoting-based CLI stored the encrypted user name of the successfully authenticated user in a cache file used to authenticate further commands. Users with sufficient permission to create secrets in Jenkins, and download their encrypted values (e.g. with Job/Configure permission), were able to impersonate any other Jenkins user on the same instance.
+
+ This has been fixed by storing the cached authentication as a hash-based MAC with a key specific to the Jenkins instance and the CLI authentication cache.
+
+ Previously cached authentications are invalidated when upgrading Jenkins to a version containing a fix for this.
