CVE-2023-4302Network attack vector

Credential capture via unchecked connection endpoints

Published Aug 21, 2023 · Updated Oct 1, 2024

Missing authorization in Jenkins Fortify Plugin 22.1.38 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to capture stored Jenkins credentials. The doTestConnection and doTestCtrlConnection endpoints use a supplied credential ID and URL without checking Administrator permission. Overall/Read permission and a credential ID obtained by another method are required; the outbound connection exposes the selected credential.
