Overview
CVE-2022-43415 is a high-severity XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability discovered in the Jenkins REPO Plugin versions 1.15.0 and earlier. The vulnerability was disclosed on October 19, 2022, affecting the XML parser configuration in the plugin (Jenkins Advisory, OSS Security).
Technical details

Impact
The vulnerability allows attackers who can control which repo binary is executed on agents to have Jenkins parse crafted XML documents that use external entities. This can lead to extraction of secrets from the Jenkins controller or enable server-side request forgery attacks (Jenkins Advisory).
Mitigation and workarounds
The vulnerability has been fixed in REPO Plugin version 1.16.0, which disables external entity resolution for its XML parser. Users are advised to upgrade to this version to mitigate the vulnerability (Jenkins Advisory).
