Updated

A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Jenkins Fortify Plugin 22.1.38 and earlier allows attackers to connect to an attacker-specified URL using attacker-specified credentials IDs obtained through another method, capturing credentials stored in Jenkins.

Other sources

Jenkins Fortify Plugin 22.1.38 and earlier does not perform permission checks in several HTTP endpoints.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified URL using attacker-specified credentials IDs obtained through another method, capturing credentials stored in Jenkins.

Additionally, these HTTP endpoints do not require POST requests, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

Fortify Plugin 22.2.39 requires POST requests and the appropriate permissions for the affected HTTP endpoints.
