How to Fix CVE-2019-10317

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Sitemonitor dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

org.jvnet.hudson.plugins:sitemonitor fixed: 0.6 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jvnet.hudson.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>sitemonitor</artifactId>
    <version>0.6</version>
</dependency>
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jvnet.hudson.plugins

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2019-10317, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jvnet.hudson.plugins

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Sitemonitor in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.6), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jvnet.hudson.plugins command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-295: Improper Certificate Validation, where the product does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate. In Sitemonitor, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Jenkins SiteMonitor Plugin unconditionally disables SSL/TLS certificate validation for the entire Jenkins controller JVM. SiteMonitor Plugin no longer does that. Instead, it now has an opt-in option to ignore SSL/TLS errors for each site check individually.
