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
A man in the middle vulnerability exists in Jenkins TraceTronic ECU-TEST Plugin 2.3 and earlier in ATXPublisher.java, ATXValidator.java that allows attackers to impersonate any service that Jenkins connects to.

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

A man-in-the-middle vulnerability in Jenkins TraceTronic ECU-TEST Plugin versions 2.3 and earlier allows attackers to intercept and impersonate any service that Jenkins connects to. The vulnerability exists in ATXPublisher.java and ATXValidator.java, likely due to improper or missing SSL/TLS certificate validation when establishing connections to downstream services.

MitigationUpgrade to a patched version of the TraceTronic ECU-TEST Plugin (version 2.4 or later), or if no patch is available, ensure Jenkins only connects to trusted networks to mitigate MITM risk.

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. Verify TraceTronic ECU-TEST plugin is installed
    In Jenkins, go to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab, or run: jenkins-cli.jar list-plugins (or check $JENKINS_HOME/plugins directory)
    Affected if The TraceTronic ECU-TEST plugin appears in the installed plugins list
  2. Check the installed plugin version
    In the Installed plugins tab, find the TraceTronic ECU-TEST plugin and note the version number shown in the Version column
    Affected if The version is 2.3 or earlier (e.g., 2.3, 2.2, 2.1, 2.0, 1.x)
  3. Identify jobs using the plugin
    Search job configurations for 'tracetronic', 'ECUTest', 'ATXPublisher', or 'ATXValidator' references, or review any jobs configured to use TraceTronic ECU-TEST integration
    Affected if Any Jenkins job or pipeline is configured to use TraceTronic ECU-TEST plugin functionality

You are affected if the TraceTronic ECU-TEST plugin version is 2.3 or earlier AND at least one Jenkins job uses this plugin to connect to downstream services.
