How to Fix CVE-2023-46656
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Multibranch scan webhook trigger 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>igalg.jenkins.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>multibranch-scan-webhook-trigger</artifactId>
<version>Latest secure release</version>
</dependency>Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=igalg.jenkins.pluginsHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2023-46656, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=igalg.jenkins.pluginsAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Multibranch scan webhook trigger in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.
Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=igalg.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-208: Observable Timing Discrepancy, where two separate operations in a product require different amounts of time to complete, in a way that is observable to an actor and reveals security-relevant information about the state of the product, such as whether a particular operation was successful or not. In Multibranch scan webhook trigger, 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.
