CVE-2024-47804: Jenkins core Jenkins Item Creation Restriction Bypass Vulnerability
MODERATECVE-2024-47804 is a MODERATE (CVSS 4.3) jenkins item creation restriction bypass vulnerability (CWE-843: Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type ('Type Confusion')) affecting Jenkins core libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The issue involves jenkins item creation restriction bypass vulnerability. Remediation is available by upgrading affected packages to version 2.462.3, 2.479.

Security Impact
CVSS: 4.3
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N).
How to Fix CVE-2024-47804
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Jenkins core dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jenkins-ci.main</groupId>
<artifactId>jenkins-core</artifactId>
<version>2.462.3</version>
</dependency><dependency>
<groupId>org.jenkins-ci.main</groupId>
<artifactId>jenkins-core</artifactId>
<version>2.479</version>
</dependency>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.mainHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-47804, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jenkins-ci.mainAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Jenkins core in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.462.3), your application is affected.
Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jenkins-ci.main 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-843: Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type ('Type Confusion'), where the product allocates or initializes a resource such as a pointer, object, or variable using one type, but it later accesses that resource using a type that is incompatible with the original type. In Jenkins core, 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.

With Item/Configure permission, they can also save the item to persist it.\n\nIf an attempt is made to create an item of a prohibited type through the Jenkins CLI or the REST API and either of the above checks fail, Jenkins 2.479, LTS 2.462.3 does not retain the item in memory.",
