How to Fix CVE-2022-29049

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Promoted builds 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:promoted-builds fixed: 3.10.1 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jenkins-ci.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>promoted-builds</artifactId>
    <version>3.10.1</version>
</dependency>
org.jenkins-ci.plugins:promoted-builds fixed: 876.v99d29788b

    <groupId>org.jenkins-ci.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>promoted-builds</artifactId>
    <version>876.v99d29788b</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-2022-29049, 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 Promoted builds in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.10.1), 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-20: Improper Input Validation, where the product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. In Promoted builds, 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 promoted builds Plugin provides dedicated support for defining promotions using [Job DSL Plugin](https://plugins.jenkins.io/job-dsl). promoted builds Plugin 873.v6149db_d64130 and earlier does not validate the names of promotions defined in Job DSL. This allows attackers with Job/Configure permission to create a promotion with an unsafe name. As a result, the promotion name could be used for cross-site scripting (XSS) or to replace other `config.xml` files. promoted builds Plugin 876.v99d29788b_36b_ and 3.10.1 validates the name of promotions.
