New in Jenkins 2.0 Alpha 3 (Mar 11, 2016)

  • Pipeline as Code keeps delivery DRY:
  • The new Pipeline functionality in Jenkins allows you to define configuration as code, which can be checked in and version controlled along with the rest of your project's source code.
  • Defining your pipeline's configuration as code makes it easier to create a simple "build and test" pipeline, while enabling more advanced and complex pipelines through the expressive Groovy-based domain specific language.
  • With the new Pipeline Stage View Plugin, the different stages of pipelines can easily be visualized.
  • Out of the box: Secure defaults:
  • Jenkins access is no longer "first come, first served": The initial setup is protected so that your Jenkins is always safe from unauthorized access.
  • Out of the box: Easy to get it right:
  • For new users, Jenkins 2.0 starts off with set of recommended plugins to help get you started with the right set of tools to get up and running with Jenkins quickly. For the more adventurous users, the Jenkins 2.0 initial setup process also allows you to pick and choose exactly the plugins you want to meet your specific needs. The list of plugins is hand-picked by Jenkins experts from our popular plugins to ensure the best getting-started experience for new users.
  • Of course, users will always be able to add plugins after the initial setup through the current "Manage Plugins" interface.
  • Improved user interface:
  • A number of small, but useful improvements, have been made to tidy up the interfaces you use every day.
  • Job configuration forms are now easier to use as the structure of the form is visually clearer, and tabs allow you to quickly navigate to different sections of the configuration with ease.
  • Totally backwards compatible:
  • Jenkins 2.0 is a drop-in replacement of the Jenkins 1.x series of releases and fully backward compatible. There will be practically no reason not to upgrade once 2.0 is released in the next couple of months.

  • "java -jar jenkins.war" should use unique session cookie for users who run multiple Jenkins on the same host.
  • Security fixes:
  • In some places, Jenkins XML API uses XStream to deserialize arbitrary content, which is affected by CVE-2013-7285 reported against XStream. This allows malicious users of Jenkins with a limited set of permissions to execute arbitrary code inside Jenkins master.
  • Restrictions of HTML tags for user-editable contents are too lax. This allows malicious users of Jenkins to trick other unsuspecting users into providing sensitive information.
  • Plugging a hole in the earlier fix to SECURITY-55. Under some circimstances, a malicious user of Jenkins can configure job X to trigger another job Y that the user has no access to.
  • CLI job creation had a directory traversal vulnerability. This allows a malicious user of Jenkins with a limited set of permissions to overwrite files in the Jenkins master and escalate privileges.
  • The embedded Winstone servlet container is susceptive to session hijacking attack.
  • The password input control in the password parameter definition in the Jenkins UI was serving the actual value of the password in HTML, not an encrypted one. If a sensitive value is set as the default value of such a parameter definition, it can be exposed to unintended audience.
  • Deleting the user was not invalidating the API token, allowing users to access Jenkins when they shouldn't be allowed to do so.
  • Jenkins UI was vulnerable to click jacking attacks.
  • "Jenkins' own user database" was revealing the presence/absence of users when login attempts fail.
  • Jenkins had a cross-site scripting vulnerability in one of its cookies. If Jenkins is deployed in an environment that allows an attacker to override Jenkins cookies in victim's browser, this vulnerability can be exploited.
  • Jenkins was vulnerable to session fixation attack. If Jenkins is deployed in an environment that allows an attacker to override Jenkins cookies in victim's browser, this vulnerability can be exploited.
  • Stored XSS vulnerability. A malicious user of Jenkins with a certain set of permissions can cause Jenkins to store arbitrary HTML fragment.
  • Some of the system diagnostic functionalities were checking a lesser permission than it should have. In a very limited circumstances, this can cause an attacker to gain information that he shouldn't have access to.
