- Fix
2.32.2- Upgrade org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core to this version or later
Description
Jenkins before versions 2.44 and 2.32.2 uses AES ECB block cipher mode without IV for encrypting secrets which makes Jenkins and the stored secrets vulnerable to unnecessary risks (SECURITY-304).
Affected versions
Maven
| Package | Vulnerable | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core | < 2.32.2 |
2.32.2 |
| org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core | >= 2.34, < 2.44 |
2.44 |
How to fix
Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.
org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core Maven → 2.32.2

Weakness
CWE-326: Inadequate Encryption Strength
The product stores or transmits sensitive data using an encryption scheme that is theoretically sound, but is not strong enough for the level of protection required.
How to prevent it
- Architecture and Design: Use an encryption scheme that is currently considered to be strong by experts in the field.
