CVE-2024-23905
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 Red Hat Dependency Analytics Plugin 0.7.1 and earlier programmatically disables Content-Security-Policy protection for user-generated content in workspaces, archived artifacts, etc. that Jenkins offers for download.
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 Jenkins Red Hat Dependency Analytics Plugin version 0.7.1 and earlier programmatically disables Content-Security-Policy (CSP) protection for user-generated content in workspaces, archived artifacts, and other downloadables. This weakens Jenkins' defense-in-depth against XSS attacks by removing the CSP header that restricts script execution from untrusted sources.

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 Red Hat Dependency Analytics plugin is installedNavigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab, or use the Jenkins script console: Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.plugins.collect { it.shortName }.contains('red-hat-dependency-analytics')Affected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list or the script returns true
-
Identify the installed plugin versionIn Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab, locate 'Red Hat Dependency Analytics' and note the Version column; alternatively, use the script console: Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.plugins.find { it.shortName == 'red-hat-dependency-analytics' }.versionAffected if The version returned is 0.7.1 or any version lower than 0.7.1
-
Confirm CSP header behavior in responsesTrigger a build or access a workspace/artifact URL, then inspect HTTP response headers using browser dev tools or curl -I <url>; look for the Content-Security-Policy headerAffected if The CSP header is missing from responses related to workspaces or archived artifacts while the plugin is enabled
-
Check plugin configuration for CSP-related settingsNavigate to Manage Jenkins > System > Red Hat Dependency Analytics (if a configuration section exists), or inspect the plugin's config.xml file in JENKINS_HOME/war/Affected if The plugin configuration explicitly disables CSP protection or removes CSP headers
A user is affected if the Red Hat Dependency Analytics Plugin version 0.7.1 or earlier is installed and enabled, resulting in missing Content-Security-Policy headers for workspaces and artifacts.

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.
From vendor dataUpgrade the Jenkins Red Hat Dependency Analytics Plugin to a version that no longer disables CSP protection; if no patched version exists, consider removing or disabling the plugin until a fix is available.
