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 cross-site request forgery vulnerability exists in Jenkins Warnings Plugin 5.0.0 and earlier in src/main/java/hudson/plugins/warnings/GroovyParser.java that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a form validation HTTP 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

A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Jenkins Warnings Plugin 5.0.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking authenticated users into submitting malicious requests to the form validation endpoint in GroovyParser.java.

MitigationUpdate Jenkins Warnings Plugin to a version newer than 5.0.0 that includes proper CSRF protection (crumb validation) on form validation endpoints.

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 Jenkins Warnings Plugin is installed
    Navigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab and search for 'Warnings' or check the plugin directory $JENKINS_HOME/plugins for a folder named 'warnings'
    Affected if The Warnings plugin is present in the plugins directory or listed in the installed plugins
  2. Identify the installed version of Jenkins Warnings Plugin
    In Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab, find the Warnings plugin and note the version number displayed in the 'Version' column
    Affected if The installed version is 5.0.0 or any earlier version (e.g., 5.0.0, 4.0.0, 3.0.0, etc.)
  3. Confirm the GroovyParser form validation endpoint is accessible
    Check if the Jenkins instance exposes the form validation API for the Warnings plugin. This is typically at /jenkins-root/descriptorByName/GroovyParser/validate or similar endpoint under the warnings plugin context. Access to this endpoint does not require explicit configuration as it is enabled by default in affected versions
    Affected if The form validation endpoint exists and responds to requests without requiring CSRF crumb validation (the vulnerability condition)
  4. Verify CSRF protection is not applied to the form validation endpoint
    Submit a test request to the GroovyParser form validation endpoint without a valid Jenkinscrumb (CSRF token) header. In affected versions, the request will succeed; in patched versions, it will be rejected
    Affected if The endpoint accepts requests without a valid crumb (Jenkins-Crumb header or crumb= parameter)

A user is affected if the Jenkins Warnings Plugin is installed with version 5.0.0 or earlier AND the GroovyParser form validation endpoint is exposed without CSRF protection.
