How to Fix CVE-2024-52551

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Pipeline model parent 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.jenkinsci.plugins:pipeline-model-parent fixed: 2.2218.v56d0cda 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jenkinsci.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>pipeline-model-parent</artifactId>
    <version>2.2218.v56d0cda</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.jenkinsci.plugins

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-52551, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jenkinsci.plugins

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Pipeline model parent in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.2218.v56d0cda), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jenkinsci.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-285: Improper Authorization, where the product does not perform or incorrectly performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action. In Pipeline model parent, 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 Pipeline: Declarative Plugin 2.2214.vb_b_34b_2ea_9b_83 and earlier does not check whether the main (Jenkinsfile) script used to restart a build from a specific stage is approved, allowing attackers with Item/Build permission to restart a previous build whose (Jenkinsfile) script is no longer approved. This allows attackers with Item/Build permission to restart a previous build whose (Jenkinsfile) script is no longer approved. Pipeline: Declarative Plugin 2.2218.v56d0cda_37c72 refuses to restart a build whose main (Jenkinsfile) script is unapproved.
