An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-1000408 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.138.2\n- org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.138.2\n- org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core (Maven): affected from 2.140; fixed in 2.146\n- org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core (Maven): affected from 2.140; fixed in 2.146\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-1000408/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-1000408/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-1000408","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-1000408/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-1000408","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4h47-h3cr-23wh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Jenkins automation server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service by creating ephemeral user records in memory on Jenkins instances using the built-in security realm.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"jenkins","vendor":"jenkins"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"A denial of service vulnerability exists in Jenkins 2.145 and earlier, LTS 2.138.1 and earlier in core/src/main/java/hudson/security/HudsonPrivateSecurityRealm.java that allows attackers without Overall/Read permission to access a specific URL on instances using the built-in Jenkins user database security realm that results in the creation of an ephemeral user record in memory.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Improper Authorization in Jenkins","id":"CVE-2018-1000408","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"jenkins:jenkins","products":["jenkins:jenkins"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2018"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Session Fixation in Jenkins","id":"CVE-2018-1000409"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.138.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-4h47-h3cr-23wh"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.138.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.jenkins-ci.main/jenkins-core","source":"GHSA-4h47-h3cr-23wh"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.146"],"introduced":["2.140"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-4h47-h3cr-23wh"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.146"],"introduced":["2.140"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.jenkins-ci.main/jenkins-core","source":"GHSA-4h47-h3cr-23wh"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site Scripting in Jenkins","id":"CVE-2018-1000407"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2019-01-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Jenkins Command Line Interface (CLI) Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2024-23897","kev_date_added":"2024-08-19","published":"2024-01-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Jenkins Stapler Web Framework Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2018-1000861","kev_date_added":"2022-02-10","published":"2018-12-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Jenkins Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-1000353","kev_date_added":"2025-10-02","published":"2018-01-29"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Jenkins User Interface (UI) Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2015-5317","kev_date_added":"2023-05-12","published":"2015-11-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities allow bypassing path filtering of agent-to-controller access control in Jenkins","id":"CVE-2021-21690","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities allow bypassing path filtering of agent-to-controller access control in Jenkins","id":"CVE-2021-21691","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Multiple vulnerabilities allow bypassing path filtering of agent-to-controller access control in Jenkins","id":"CVE-2021-21692","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-04"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service by creating ephemeral user records in memory on Jenkins instances using the built-in security realm.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-1000408/"}
