Description

Jenkins 2.274 and earlier, LTS 2.263.1 and earlier does not limit sizes provided as query parameters to graph-rendering URLs, allowing attackers to request crafted URLs that use all available memory in Jenkins, potentially leading to out of memory errors.

Understanding This Vulnerability

This Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) entry provides detailed information about a security vulnerability that has been publicly disclosed. CVEs are standardized identifiers assigned by MITRE Corporation to track and catalog security vulnerabilities across software and hardware products.

The severity rating (UNKNOWN) indicates the potential impact of this vulnerability based on the CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) framework. Higher severity ratings typically indicate vulnerabilities that could lead to more significant security breaches if exploited. Security teams should prioritize remediation efforts based on severity, exploit availability, and the EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score, which predicts the likelihood of exploitation in the wild.

If this vulnerability affects products or systems in your infrastructure, we recommend reviewing the affected products section, checking for available patches or updates from vendors, and implementing recommended workarounds or solutions until a permanent fix is available. Organizations should also monitor security advisories and threat intelligence feeds for updates about active exploitation of this vulnerability.

Excessive memory allocation in graph URLs leads to denial of service in Jenkins

Advisory Details

Jenkins renders several different graphs for features like agent and label usage statistics, memory usage, or various plugin-provided statistics. Jenkins 2.274 and earlier, LTS 2.263.1 and earlier does not limit the graph size provided as query parameters. This allows attackers to request or to have legitimate Jenkins users request crafted URLs that rapidly use all available memory in Jenkins, potentially leading to out of memory errors. Jenkins 2.275, LTS 2.263.2 limits the maximum size of graphs to an area of 10 million pixels. If a larger size is requested, the default size for the graph will be rendered instead. This threshold can be configured by setting the [Java system property](https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/managing/system-properties/) `hudson.util.Graph.maxArea` to a different number on startup.
