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 data modification vulnerability exists in Jenkins Agiletestware Pangolin Connector for TestRail Plugin 2.1 and earlier in GlobalConfig.java that allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to override this plugin's configuration by sending crafted HTTP requests to an unprotected endpoint.

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 Pangolin Connector for TestRail plugin before version 2.1 contains an unprotected HTTP endpoint in GlobalConfig.java that allows any user with Overall/Read permission (a basic default permission) to modify the plugin's configuration via crafted requests. This is a classic IDOR/missing authorization vulnerability where the endpoint lacks proper permission checks or CSRF protection.

MitigationUpgrade the plugin to version 2.1 or later which includes proper authorization controls. If upgrading is not immediately possible, consider restricting Overall/Read permission to trusted users only as a compensating control.
