How to Fix CVE-2023-40343

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Tuleap oauth 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:tuleap-oauth fixed: 1.1.21 
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.jenkins.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>tuleap-oauth</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.21</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-2023-40343, 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 Tuleap oauth in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.1.21), 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-203: Observable Discrepancy, where the product behaves differently or sends different responses under different circumstances in a way that is observable to an unauthorized actor. In Tuleap oauth, 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 Tuleap Authentication Plugin 1.1.20 and earlier does not use a constant-time comparison when checking whether two authentication tokens are equal. This could potentially allow attackers to use statistical methods to obtain a valid authentication token. Tuleap Authentication Plugin 1.1.21 uses a constant-time comparison when validating authentication tokens.
