How to Fix CVE-2022-43428

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Compuware topaz for total test 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.compuware.jenkins:compuware-topaz-for-total-test fixed: 2.4.9 
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.compuware.jenkins</groupId>
    <artifactId>compuware-topaz-for-total-test</artifactId>
    <version>2.4.9</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.compuware.jenkins

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2022-43428, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

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

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Compuware topaz for total test in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.4.9), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.compuware.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-693: Protection Mechanism Failure, where the product does not use or incorrectly uses a protection mechanism that provides sufficient defense against directed attacks against the product. In Compuware topaz for total test, 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 Compuware Topaz for Total Test Plugin 2.4.8 and earlier implements an agent/controller message that does not limit where it can be executed, allowing attackers able to control agent processes to obtain the values of Java system properties from the Jenkins controller process. These vulnerabilities are only exploitable in Jenkins 2.318 and earlier, LTS 2.303.2 and earlier. See the [LTS upgrade guide](https://www.jenkins.io/doc/upgrade-guide/2.303/#upgrading-to-jenkins-lts-2-303-3).
