Terrapin SSH vulnerability in Jenkins CLI client
SECURITY-3386 / CVE-2023-48795
Severity (CVSS): Medium
Description:
The CLI client (jenkins-cli.jar
) in Jenkins 2.451 and earlier, LTS 2.440.2 and earlier bundles versions of the Apache MINA SSHD library that are susceptible to CVE-2023-48795 (Terrapin attack). This vulnerability allows a machine-in-the-middle attacker to reduce the security of an SSH connection.
This only affects the Jenkins CLI client when using the -ssh
connection mode, which is not the default.
The CLI client (jenkins-cli.jar
) in Jenkins 2.452, LTS 2.440.3 bundles version 2.12.1 of the Apache MINA SSHD library, which is unaffected by this issue.
