FreeBSD : jenkins -- multiple issues (1c2a9d76-9d98-43c3-8f5d-8c059b104d99)

high Nessus Plugin ID 104488

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

Jenkins developers report :

Jenkins stores metadata related to people, which encompasses actual user accounts, as well as users appearing in SCM, in directories corresponding to the user ID on disk. These directories used the user ID for their name without additional escaping. This potentially resulted in a number of problems.

Autocompletion suggestions for text fields were not escaped, resulting in a persisted cross-site scripting vulnerability if the source for the suggestions allowed specifying text that includes HTML metacharacters like less-than and greater-than characters.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
