CVE-2023-50769Network attack vector

Credential capture via unchecked form validation

Published Dec 13, 2023 · Updated Feb 13, 2025

Missing authorization in Jenkins Project Nexus Platform Plugin 3.18.0-03 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to capture stored credentials. Form-validation methods accept a caller-supplied credentials ID and initiate an HTTP connection to a caller-specified server without checking Overall/Administer permission. Overall/Read permission and a credentials ID obtained through another method are required; the outbound request exposes the selected Jenkins credential to the controlled server.
