CVE-2023-41943Network attack vector

Authenticated SQS queue clearing via unchecked endpoint

Published Sep 6, 2023 · Updated Sep 26, 2024

Missing authorization in Jenkins AWS CodeCommit Trigger Plugin 3.0.12 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to clear an SQS queue. The affected HTTP endpoint processes a queue-clear request without checking authorization beyond the caller's existing Overall/Read access. Overall/Read access is sufficient to delete pending CodeCommit event messages and interrupt downstream job triggering.
