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
Jenkins Translation Assistance Plugin 1.15 and earlier did not require form submissions to be submitted via POST, resulting in a CSRF vulnerability allowing attackers to override localized strings displayed to all users on the current Jenkins instance if the victim is a Jenkins administrator.

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

The Jenkins Translation Assistance Plugin versions 1.15 and earlier lacked POST requirement enforcement for form submissions, creating a CSRF vulnerability. Attackers could trick authenticated Jenkins administrators into submitting crafted requests that would override localized strings displayed to all users on the instance.

MitigationUpdate Jenkins Translation Assistance Plugin to version 1.16 or later to include the POST requirement fix. Alternatively, disable the plugin if localization features are not needed.
