How to Fix CVE-2023-49652

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

org.jenkins-ci.plugins:google-compute-engine fixed: 4.3.17.1 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jenkins-ci.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>google-compute-engine</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.17.1</version>
</dependency>
org.jenkins-ci.plugins:google-compute-engine fixed: 4.551.v5a 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jenkins-ci.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>google-compute-engine</artifactId>
    <version>4.551.v5a</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=org.jenkins-ci.plugins

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2023-49652, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jenkins-ci.plugins

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Google compute engine in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.3.17.1), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jenkins-ci.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-862: Missing Authorization, where the product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action. In Google compute engine, 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 Google Compute Engine Plugin 4.550.vb_327fca_3db_11 and earlier does not correctly perform permission checks in multiple HTTP endpoints. This allows attackers with global Item/Configure permission (while lacking Item/Configure permission on any particular job) to do the following: - Enumerate system-scoped credentials IDs of credentials stored in Jenkins. Those can be used as part of an attack to capture the credentials using another vulnerability. - Connect to Google Cloud Platform using attacker-specified credentials IDs obtained through another method, to obtain information about existing projects. Google Compute Engine Plugin 4.551.v5a_4dc98f6962 requires Overall/Administer permission for the affected HTTP endpoints.
