Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Unspecified vulnerability in Jenkins before 1.502 and LTS before 1.480.3 allows remote attackers to bypass the CSRF protection mechanism via unknown attack vectors.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

This is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) protection bypass vulnerability in Jenkins. The unspecified attack vectors allow remote attackers to circumvent the CSRF tokens that normally prevent malicious cross-site requests from being executed with an authenticated user's session.

MitigationUpgrade Jenkins to version 1.502 or later (or LTS 1.480.3 or later) to obtain the patched CSRF protection mechanism.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Jenkins installation location
    Locate the Jenkins installation: check for /var/lib/jenkins (Linux), C:\Program Files\Jenkins (Windows), or a custom installation directory. Also check if running as a service or standalone WAR file.
    Affected if Jenkins is installed but the location is unknown, preventing version verification.
  2. Check Jenkins version via web interface
    Access the Jenkins dashboard (typically http://localhost:8080) and look for the Jenkins version displayed at the bottom of the page, or navigate to /api/json to find the 'version' field in the JSON response.
    Affected if The displayed version is 1.480.2 or earlier, or 1.501 or earlier.
  3. Check Jenkins version via CLI or file
    If the web interface is unavailable, check the jenkins.war file's modification date, or run 'java -jar jenkins.war --version' if the WAR file is accessible. On Linux, check /usr/share/jenkins or the installed package version with dpkg -l jenkins or rpm -q jenkins.
    Affected if The version command returns a version <= 1.480.2 or <= 1.501.
  4. Confirm CSRF protection is in use
    Verify that Jenkins is running with its web UI enabled (default port 8080). CSRF protection applies to any Jenkins instance with the web interface accessible, as this is where cross-site requests could be forged.
    Affected if Jenkins is accessible via HTTP/HTTPS and accepts API or UI requests.

A user is affected if their Jenkins instance version is 1.480.2 or earlier, or 1.501 or earlier, and the web interface is enabled.
