How to Fix CVE-2023-25722

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

com.veracode.jenkins:veracode-scan fixed: 23.3.19.0 
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.veracode.jenkins</groupId>
    <artifactId>veracode-scan</artifactId>
    <version>23.3.19.0</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=com.veracode.jenkins

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2023-25722, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.veracode.jenkins

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Veracode scan in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 23.3.19.0), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.veracode.jenkins 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-214: Invocation of Process Using Visible Sensitive Information, where a process is invoked with sensitive command-line arguments, environment variables, or other elements that can be seen by other processes on the operating system. In Veracode scan, 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

Veracode Scan Jenkins Plugin before 23.3.19.0, when configured for remote agent jobs, invokes the Veracode Java API Wrapper in a manner that allows local users (with OS-level access of the Jenkins remote) to discover Veracode API credentials by listing the process and its arguments.
