CVE-2022-41232Network attack vector

Configuration erasure via GET-enabled file replacement

Published Sep 21, 2022 · Updated May 28, 2025

CSRF in Jenkins Build Publisher Plugin 1.22 and earlier allows remote attackers to erase controller config.xml files via a crafted request. The affected API endpoint accepts a crafted file name without requiring POST and replaces the selected config.xml file with an empty file. A victim with Item/Configure permission must follow the crafted request, and successful exploitation can disable or corrupt Jenkins configuration.
