CVE-2018-1000188
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 · uneditedA server-side request forgery vulnerability exists in Jenkins CAS Plugin 1.4.1 and older in CasSecurityRealm.java that allows attackers with Overall/Read access to cause Jenkins to send a GET request to a specified URL.
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 confidenceA server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Jenkins CAS Plugin versions 1.4.1 and older allows authenticated users with Overall/Read access to cause Jenkins to make GET requests to attacker-specified URLs. This enables internal network reconnaissance and potential attacks against internal services reachable from the Jenkins server.

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.
-
Check if Jenkins CAS Plugin is installedNavigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab and search for 'CAS' or 'CAS Plugin' in the list of installed pluginsAffected if The CAS Plugin appears in the installed plugins list
-
Identify the installed CAS Plugin versionIn the Installed Plugins list, locate the CAS Plugin and note the Version column. Compare this version number to 1.4.1Affected if The installed version is 1.4.1 or older
-
Verify the CAS Plugin is configured and activeNavigate to Manage Jenkins > Configure Global Security or check the CAS Plugin configuration page to confirm the plugin is actively configured for authenticationAffected if The CAS Plugin is enabled and configured in Jenkins security settings
-
Confirm users with Overall/Read permission existNavigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Users or check the authorization matrix in Manage Jenkins > Configure Global Security to identify users or groups granted Overall/Read accessAffected if There are users or groups assigned Overall/Read permission in the authorization configuration
You are affected if the CAS Plugin version is 1.4.1 or older AND the plugin is configured AND users with Overall/Read access exist in your Jenkins instance
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade the Jenkins CAS Plugin to a version newer than 1.4.1. Until upgrade is possible, limit Overall/Read access to trusted users only to reduce the attack surface.
