CVE-2022-27198Network attack vector

Attacker-directed AWS connection via GET form validation

Published Mar 15, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Cross-site request forgery in Jenkins AWS Credentials Plugin 189.v3551d5642995 and earlier allows remote attackers to initiate AWS connections. The AWSCredentialsImpl.doCheckSecretKey form-validation method accepts GET requests and forwards an attacker-specified MFA token while testing an AWS service connection. Exploitation requires a logged-in user with Overall/Read permission to load the crafted request; Jenkins then initiates the attacker-directed service call.
