How to Fix CVE-2024-23905

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

io.jenkins.plugins:redhat-dependency-analytics fixed: 0.9.0 
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.jenkins.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>redhat-dependency-analytics</artifactId>
    <version>0.9.0</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=io.jenkins.plugins

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-23905, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=io.jenkins.plugins

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Redhat dependency analytics in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.9.0), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=io.jenkins.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-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. In Redhat dependency analytics, 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 sets the Content-Security-Policy header to static files served by Jenkins (specifically DirectoryBrowserSupport), such as workspaces, /userContent, or archived artifacts, unless a Resource Root URL is specified. Red Hat Dependency Analytics Plugin 0.7.1 and earlier globally disables the Content-Security-Policy header for static files served by Jenkins whenever the 'Invoke Red Hat Dependency Analytics (RHDA)' build step is executed. This allows cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by users with the ability to control files in workspaces, archived artifacts, etc.
