CloudBees Exam CCJE Topic 4 Question 61 Discussion

Actual exam question for CloudBees's CCJE exam

Question #: 61
Topic #: 4

You are the administrator of a base Jenkins master with the recommended set of plugins installed. You want to protect the Jenkins master against malicious (or bad) usages of Groovy methods. You also want your users to be able to share their Pipeline code via Globa Pipeline Libraries housed on a git repository under your company's Github Organization. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

AYou should configure Global Pipeline Libraries at the Github Organization level: The libraries are running as 'untrusted' code, allowing developer to run code on the Groovy sandbox.

BYou should not configure any Global Pipeline Libraries at the folder level: The libraries are running as 'trusted' code, allowing all developers to execute privileged methods.

CYou should configure Global Pipeline Libraries at the Pipeline level: The libraries are running as 'untrusted' code, allowing developers to run cod on the Groovy sandbox.

DYou should not configure any Global Pipeline Libraries at all: The libraries are running as 'trusted' code, allowing all developers to execute privileged methods.

In that case, we should definitely go with option A then.

Yes, but it also allows developers to run code on the Groovy sandbox for added security.

But wouldn't that make the libraries run as 'untrusted' code?

I think we should configure Global Pipeline Libraries at the Github Organization level.

I think C would be the best option. Having libraries at the Pipeline level with untrusted code allows for more flexibility and safety.

I'm torn between A and B. Both have their merits. We should consider how much control we want to give developers over the Jenkins master.

I disagree with Erin. I believe the answer is B. Having trusted code at the folder level ensures security for all developers.

I think the answer is A. Setting up Global Pipeline Libraries at the Github Organization level with untrusted code seems like the safest option.

Yeah, that makes sense. But B) says we shouldn't configure any Global Pipeline Libraries at the folder level, and that the libraries would be running as 'trusted' code, allowing all developers to execute privileged methods. That sounds like a big security risk.

Alright, let's dive into the options. A) seems to suggest configuring Global Pipeline Libraries at the Github Organization level, with the libraries running as 'untrusted' code. That would allow developers to run code in the Groovy sandbox, which sounds like a good security measure.

Haha, 'trusted' and 'untrusted' code, it's like we're dealing with superheroes and supervillains here! But in all seriousness, this is an important distinction.

Exactly. I think the key here is whether the libraries are running as 'trusted' or 'untrusted' code. That will determine what kind of access they have to the Jenkins master.

I agree. And the ability to share Pipeline code through Global Pipeline Libraries is a really useful feature, but we need to make sure it's set up securely.

Hmm, this question seems to be testing our understanding of Jenkins' security configurations. Protecting the Jenkins master from malicious Groovy methods is definitely a critical concern.

But doesn't that leave the potential for security vulnerabilities if developers can run untrusted code?
