CVE-2022-28155Network attack vector

Secret extraction and SSRF via external entities

Published Mar 29, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

XXE in Jenkins Pipeline: Phoenix AutoTest Plugin 1.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to extract controller secrets. The readXml and writeXml build steps pass attacker-controlled XML to a parser that resolves external entities instead of disabling them. Control of a step input is required; successful parsing reads controller-accessible data or makes server-side requests from the controller.
