How do I detect CVE-2018-1000015 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins.workflow:workflow-durable-task-step, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2018-1000015 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.

Is CVE-2018-1000015 actively exploited in the wild?

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

On Jenkins instances with Authorize Project plugin, the authentication associated with a build may lack the Computer/Build permission on some agents. This did not prevent the execution of Pipeline node blocks on those agents due to incorrect permissions checks in Pipeline: Nodes and Processes plugin 2.17 and earlier.
