# Jenkins Security
|
|
|
|
By default **Jenkins Operator** performs an initial security hardening of Jenkins instance via groovy scripts to prevent any security gaps.
|
|
|
|
## Jenkins Access Control
|
|
|
|
Currently **Jenkins Operator** generates a username and random password and stores them in a Kubernetes Secret.
|
|
However any other authorization mechanisms are possible and can be done via groovy scripts or configuration as code plugin.
|
|
For more information take a look at [getting-started#jenkins-customization](v0.1.1/getting-started.md#jenkins-customisation).
|
|
|
|
Any change to Security Realm or Authorization requires that user called `jenkins-operator` must have admin rights
|
|
because **Jenkins Operator** calls Jenkins API.
|
|
|
|
## Jenkins Hardening
|
|
|
|
The list below describes all the default security setting configured by the **Jenkins Operator**:
|
|
- basic settings - use `Mode.EXCLUSIVE` - Jobs must specify that they want to run on master node
|
|
- enable CSRF - Cross Site Request Forgery Protection is enabled
|
|
- disable usage stats - Jenkins usage stats submitting is disabled
|
|
- enable master access control - Slave To Master Access Control is enabled
|
|
- disable old JNLP protocols - `JNLP3-connect`, `JNLP2-connect` and `JNLP-connect` are disabled
|
|
- disable CLI - CLI access of `/cli` URL is disabled
|
|
- configure kubernetes-plugin - secure configuration for Kubernetes plugin
|
|
|
|
If you would like to dig a little bit into the code, take a look [here](../pkg/controller/jenkins/configuration/base/resources/base_configuration_configmap.go).
|
|
|
|
## Jenkins API
|
|
|
|
The **Jenkins Operator** generates and configures Basic Authentication token for Jenkins go client and stores it in a Kubernetes Secret.
|
|
|
|
## Kubernetes
|
|
|
|
Kubernetes API permissions are limited by the following roles:
|
|
- [jenkins-operator role](../deploy/role.yaml)
|
|
- [Jenkins Master role](../pkg/controller/jenkins/configuration/base/resources/rbac.go)
|
|
|
|
Since **Jenkins Operator** must be able to grant permission for its' deployed Jenkins masters to spawn pods (the `Jenkins Master role` above),
|
|
the operator itself requires permission to create RBAC resources (the `jenkins-operator role` above).
|
|
Deployed this way, any subject which may create a Pod (including a Jenkins job) may
|
|
assume the `jenkins-operator` role by using its' ServiceAccount, create RBAC rules, and thus escape its granted permissions.
|
|
Any namespace to which the `jenkins-operator` is deployed must be considered to implicitly grant all
|
|
possible permissions to any subject which can create a Pod in that namespace.
|
|
|
|
To mitigate this issue **Jenkins Operator** should be deployed in one namespace and the Jenkins CR should be created in separate namespace.
|
|
To achieve it change watch namespace in https://github.com/jenkinsci/kubernetes-operator/blob/master/deploy/operator.yaml#L25
|
|
|
|
## Setup Jenkins Operator and Jenkins in separated namespaces
|
|
|
|
You need to create two namespaces, for example we'll call them **jenkins** for Jenkins and **Jenkins Operator** for Jenkins Operator.
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ kubectl create ns jenkins-operator
|
|
$ kubectl create ns jenkins
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Next, apply the RBAC manifests for **Jenkins Operator** namespace
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ kubectl -n jenkins-operator apply -f deploy/service_account.yaml
|
|
$ kubectl -n jenkins-operator apply -f deploy/role_binding.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create file role_binding_jenkins.yaml in `deploy` folder:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
kind: RoleBinding
|
|
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
|
|
metadata:
|
|
name: jenkins-operator
|
|
namespace: jenkins
|
|
subjects:
|
|
- kind: ServiceAccount
|
|
name: jenkins-operator
|
|
namespace: jenkins-operator
|
|
roleRef:
|
|
kind: Role
|
|
name: jenkins-operator
|
|
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, apply RBAC rules for **jenkins** namespace
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ kubectl -n jenkins apply -f deploy/role.yaml
|
|
$ kubectl -n jenkins apply -f role_binding_jenkins.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Finally, you must create operator pod by:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ kubectl -n jenkins -n jenkins-operator apply -f deploy/operator.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Report a Security Vulnerability
|
|
|
|
If you find a vulnerability or any misconfiguration in Jenkins, please report it in the [issues](https://github.com/jenkinsci/kubernetes-operator/issues).
