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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Jenkins is installedCheck for Jenkins installation by looking for the jenkins.war file, Jenkins service, or the /jenkins/ web directory. Common locations: /var/lib/jenkins/, C:\Program Files\Jenkins\, or check if the Jenkins service is running.Affected if Jenkins is not installed - the vulnerability does not apply
-
Identify if the Monitoring plugin is installedNavigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab, or check the $JENKINS_HOME/plugins directory for a folder named 'monitoring' or 'jenkins-monitoring-plugin'.Affected if The Monitoring plugin is not installed - the vulnerability does not apply
-
Determine the installed Monitoring plugin versionIn Jenkins, go to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab and locate the Monitoring plugin to read its version number. Alternatively, inspect the plugin's manifest file: $JENKINS_HOME/plugins/monitoring/META-INF/MANIFEST.MFAffected if Unable to determine the version - manual inspection required
-
Compare installed version against affected rangesCheck if the installed version matches: <= 1.52.1, or equals any of: 1.40.0, 1.41.0, 1.42.0, 1.43.0, 1.44.0, 1.45.0, 1.46.0, 1.47.0, 1.48.0, 1.49.0, or 1.50.0Affected if Version is 1.52.1 or lower, or matches any specific version from 1.40.0 to 1.50.0 - the environment is vulnerable
-
Verify plugin accessibilityAttempt to access Monitoring plugin pages without authentication by visiting the Jenkins URL with paths such as /monitoring/ while logged out or in a private browsing session.Affected if Plugin pages are accessible to unauthenticated users - exploitation is possible
A user is affected if Jenkins is running with the Monitoring plugin installed and its version is 1.52.1 or lower, or matches any of the specific point versions from 1.40.0 through 1.50.0, and the plugin is accessible without authentication.
