CVE-2023-41942Network attack vector

Queue clearing via CSRF-prone management endpoint

Published Sep 6, 2023 · Updated Sep 26, 2024

Cross-site request forgery in Jenkins AWS CodeCommit Trigger Plugin 3.0.12 and earlier allows remote attackers to clear the SQS queue. An HTTP endpoint that clears the queue neither checks permission nor requires POST, allowing a victim's browser to invoke it through a crafted request. Exploitation requires user interaction and an Overall/Read-authorized Jenkins session; the bounded effect is deletion of queued SQS messages.
