Administrator access via retained pre-login session
Published May 16, 2023 · Updated Jan 23, 2025
Session fixation in Jenkins Project's WSO2 Oauth Plugin 1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to gain administrator access after OAuth login. The plugin leaves the pre-authentication Jenkins HTTP session valid across the WSO2 OAuth login, binding that existing session to the authenticated user. Exploitation requires remote attackers to establish or learn the session identifier and use social engineering to induce an administrator to authenticate in that browser session.
