CVE-2024-29020
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 · uneditedJumpServer is an open source bastion host and an operation and maintenance security audit system. An authorized attacker can obtain sensitive information contained within playbook files if they manage to learn the playbook_id of another user. This breach of confidentiality can lead to information disclosure and exposing sensitive data. This vulnerability is fixed in v3.10.6.
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 confidenceJumpServer contains an access control vulnerability where an authenticated attacker can access sensitive information in playbook files belonging to other users by leveraging the playbook_id parameter. This Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) allows unauthorized cross-user access to confidential playbook content containing potentially sensitive data.

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.
-
Identify the installed JumpServer versionRun 'jumpserver --version' or check the version file in the JumpServer installation directory, typically found in /opt/jumpserver or the installation root pathAffected if The version is 3.0.0 through 3.10.5 (inclusive)
-
Verify the playbook feature is accessibleLog into the JumpServer web interface or API and navigate to the playbook management section to confirm playbooks can be created, viewed, or editedAffected if Playbook functionality is enabled and accessible to authenticated users
-
Confirm user authentication is enabledCheck that JumpServer authentication is properly configured and that user accounts exist in the systemAffected if Users can authenticate to the platform and access their own resources
-
Test for IDOR on playbook accessUsing an authenticated account, attempt to access a playbook by modifying the playbook_id parameter in API requests or URLs to reference a playbook owned by a different userAffected if You can successfully view or retrieve playbook content belonging to another user without proper authorization checks
-
Review audit logs for cross-user playbook accessCheck JumpServer audit logs for any entries showing playbook access from user A accessing user B's playbook_id, particularly repeated or bulk access patternsAffected if Audit logs show playbook access events where the requesting user differs from the playbook owner
You are affected if your JumpServer version is between 3.0.0 and 3.10.5 inclusive and the playbook feature is accessible to authenticated users who can potentially access other users' playbook files.

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 · scoped3.10.6
Upgrade to JumpServer v3.10.6 or later. Review and rotate any credentials or sensitive data that may have been exposed in playbook files, and implement additional access controls to prevent unauthorized cross-user resource access.
v3.10.6
- 1. Backup your current JumpServer installation and database
- 2. Upgrade JumpServer to version 3.10.6 or later
- 3. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version number
- 4. Test that the authorization bypass is fixed by attempting to access playbook files with different user contexts
