How to Fix CVE-2024-52553

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Oic auth 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.jenkins-ci.plugins:oic-auth fixed: 4.421.v5422614eb 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jenkins-ci.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>oic-auth</artifactId>
    <version>4.421.v5422614eb</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.jenkins-ci.plugins

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-52553, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jenkins-ci.plugins

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Oic auth in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.421.v5422614eb), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jenkins-ci.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-613: Insufficient Session Expiration, where according to wasc, "insufficient session expiration is when a web site permits an attacker to reuse old session credentials or session ids for authorization.". In Oic auth, 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 OpenId Connect Authentication Plugin 4.418.vccc7061f5b_6d and earlier does not invalidate the previous session on login. This allows attackers to use social engineering techniques to gain administrator access to Jenkins. OpenId Connect Authentication Plugin 4.421.v5422614eb_e0a_ invalidates the existing session on login.
