CVE-2022-36909Network attack vector

Unauthorized SSH key upload via form validation

Published Jul 27, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Missing authorization in Jenkins OpenShift Deployer Plugin 1.2.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to upload controller SSH keys. Form-validation methods accept attacker-chosen file paths and destination URLs without performing permission checks, exposing a file-existence oracle and sending the selected SSH key file off host. Overall/Read permission is sufficient to test controller paths and cause the upload to an attacker-controlled endpoint.
