Descriptions

Jenkins Subversion Plugin 2.13.1 and earlier does not configure its XML parser to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks.

Jenkins Subversion Plugin versiones 2.13.1 y anteriores, no configura su analizador XML para impedir ataques de tipo XML external entity (XXE)

A flaw was found in the subversion Jenkins plugin. The XML parser is not properly configured to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks allowing an attacker the ability to control an agent process and have Jenkins parse a crafted changelog file that uses external entities for extraction of secrets from the Jenkins controller or server-side request forgery. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is Red Hat's cloud computing Kubernetes application platform solution designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments. Issues addressed include XML injection, crlf injection, and information leakage vulnerabilities.
