Incorrect permission checks in Qualys Web App Scanning Connector Plugin allow capturing credentials

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jul 26, 2023 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Nov 10, 2023

Package

maven com.qualys.plugins:qualys-was (Maven)

Affected versions

< 2.0.11

Patched versions

2.0.11

Description

Qualys Web App Scanning Connector Plugin 2.0.10 and earlier does not correctly perform permission checks in several HTTP endpoints.

This allows attackers with global Item/Configure permission to connect to an attacker-specified URL using attacker-specified credentials IDs obtained through another method, capturing credentials stored in Jenkins.

Qualys Web App Scanning Connector Plugin 2.0.11 requires the appropriate permissions for the affected HTTP endpoints.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
