Background
The Jenkins Dependency Graph Viewer plugin is a Maven package that provides a visual representation of the dependencies between Jenkins jobs. It allows users to view and analyze the relationships between different jobs in a graphical format. This plugin is widely used by Jenkins administrators and developers to understand the complex dependencies within their Jenkins environment.
Vulnerability Detail
The Jenkins Dependency Graph Viewer plugin version 0.12 and earlier is vulnerable to a missing permission check. The API endpoint responsible for modifying the dependency graph does not enforce proper permission checks, allowing any user with Overall/Read permission to modify the data. This vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to manipulate the dependency graph, potentially leading to unauthorized changes in job relationships and dependencies. The impact of this vulnerability can range from confusion and misinterpretation of job dependencies to potential disruption of the Jenkins environment.

Workaround
As a temporary workaround, users can restrict the Overall/Read permission to trusted individuals only. By limiting access to the dependency graph modification API, the risk of unauthorized changes can be mitigated. To implement this workaround, navigate to the Jenkins security settings and adjust the permissions accordingly.
Conclusion
The Jenkins Dependency Graph Viewer plugin version 0.12 and earlier is vulnerable to a missing permission check, allowing unauthorized modification of the dependency graph. To mitigate this vulnerability, it is crucial to upgrade to version 0.13 or later. Restricting the Overall/Read permission can also serve as a temporary workaround.
