1 pkg affected
☕org.jenkins-ci.plugins:selenium

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

Selenium Plugin 3.141.59 and earlier has no CSRF protection for its HTTP endpoints.

This allows attackers to perform the following actions:

  • Restart the Selenium Grid hub.
  • Delete or replace the plugin configuration.
  • Start, stop, or restart Selenium configurations on specific nodes.

Through carefully chosen configuration parameters, these actions can result in OS command injection on the Jenkins controller.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

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

  2. Remediation status

    The records we use list no patched version of org.jenkins-ci.plugins:selenium for CVE-2020-2196. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.

  3. Mitigate without a patch

    Stop passing untrusted input into the interpreter or shell: call the affected binary with an argument array rather than a composed command string, reject anything outside a strict allowlist of expected values, and run the component under an account that cannot reach beyond the work it legitimately does.
