CVE-2017-1000085: Jenkins Subversion

Medium severity, CVSS 6.5. EPSS: 1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Subversion Plugin connects to a user-specified Subversion repository as part of form validation (e.g. to retrieve a list of tags). This functionality improperly checked permissions, allowing any user with Item/Build permission (but not Item/Configure) to connect to any web server or Subversion server and send credentials with a known ID, thereby possibly capturing them. Additionally, this functionality did not require POST requests be used, thereby allowing the above to be performed without direct access to Jenkins via Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks.

Affected products

• Jenkins Subversion: up to and including 2.8
