CVE-2023-35147
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedJenkins AWS CodeCommit Trigger Plugin 3.0.12 and earlier does not restrict the AWS SQS queue name path parameter in an HTTP endpoint, allowing attackers with Item/Read permission to obtain the contents of arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller file system.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe AWS CodeCommit Trigger Plugin before version 3.0.13 contains a path traversal vulnerability in an HTTP endpoint that exposes the AWS SQS queue name parameter without proper validation. Attackers with minimal Item/Read permission can manipulate this parameter to read arbitrary files from the Jenkins controller filesystem.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify the AWS CodeCommit Trigger Plugin is installedNavigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed, or inspect the plugin directory at $JENKINS_HOME/plugins/ for a folder named aws-codecommit-trigger or similarAffected if The plugin folder exists in the Jenkins plugins directory
-
Determine the installed plugin versionCheck the plugin's manifest file (META-INF/MANIFEST.MF) inside the plugin folder, or view the version listed in the Jenkins Plugin Manager under Installed tabAffected if The version listed is 3.0.12 or lower
-
Verify if the vulnerable HTTP endpoint is accessibleCheck if the plugin's trigger endpoint is exposed. Inspect the plugin's web.xml or Java code for URL mappings related to 'queue' or 'SQS'. In a default Jenkins setup, look for endpoints under /aws-codecommit-trigger/ or similar pathsAffected if HTTP endpoints handling SQS queue parameters are reachable without additional authentication beyond basic Jenkins Item/Read
-
Confirm Item/Read permission is granted to untrusted usersReview Jenkins authorization matrix at Manage Jenkins > Configure Global Security. Check if 'Overall/Read' or 'Item/Read' permissions are enabled for anonymous users or low-privilege users/groupsAffected if Anonymous users or non-admin users have Item/Read permissions enabled, allowing them to access the vulnerable endpoint
You are affected if the AWS CodeCommit Trigger Plugin version is 3.0.12 or lower AND the vulnerable SQS queue endpoint is accessible to users with Item/Read permissions.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade the AWS CodeCommit Trigger Plugin to version 3.0.13 or later which includes proper path parameter validation. As a temporary workaround, restrict Item/Read permissions until the upgrade can be applied.
Upgrade to the latest available version of AWS CodeCommit Trigger plugin (version greater than 3.0.12)
- 1. Navigate to the Jenkins dashboard and go to 'Manage Jenkins'
- 2. Click on 'Manage Plugins'
- 3. Select the 'Installed' tab
- 4. Locate the 'AWS CodeCommit Trigger' plugin in the list
- 5. If an update is available, click 'Update' to install the latest version that includes the security fix
- 6. Restart Jenkins to complete the plugin update
