Jenkins Git server Plugin uses the args4j library to parse command arguments and options on the Jenkins controller when processing Git commands received via SSH. This command parser has a feature that replaces an @ character followed by a file path in an argument with the file’s contents (expandAtFiles
). This feature is enabled by default and Git server Plugin 99.va0826abcdfad and earlier does not disable it.
This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to read the first two lines of arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller file system using the default character encoding of the Jenkins controller process.
See SECURITY-3314 for further information about the potential impact of being able to read files on the Jenkins controller, as well as the limitations for reading binary files. Note that for this issue, unlike SECURITY-3314, attackers need Overall/Read permission.
Git server Plugin 99.101.v720e86326c09 disables the command parser feature that replaces an @ character followed by a file path in an argument with the file’s contents for CLI commands.
Navigate to Manage Jenkins » Security and ensure that the SSHD Port setting in the SSH Server section is set to Disable. This disables access to Git repositories hosted by Jenkins (and the Jenkins CLI) via SSH.
