Published Nov 29, 2023
·
Updated

A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Jenkins NeuVector Vulnerability Scanner Plugin 1.22 and earlier allows attackers to connect to an attacker-specified hostname and port using attacker-specified username and password.

Other sources

Jenkins NeuVector Vulnerability Scanner Plugin 1.22 and earlier does not perform a permission check in a connection test HTTP endpoint. This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified hostname and port using attacker-specified username and password. Additionally, this HTTP endpoint does not require POST requests, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

NeuVector Vulnerability Scanner Plugin 2.2 requires POST requests and Overall/Administer permission for the affected HTTP endpoint.
