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 in Jenkins Audit to Database Plugin in the DbAuditPublisherDescriptorImpl#doTestJdbcConnection form validation method allows attackers to initiate a connection to an attacker-specified server.

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

This is a CSRF vulnerability in the Jenkins Audit to Database Plugin where the DbAuditPublisherDescriptorImpl#doTestJdbcConnection form validation method lacks CSRF protection. An authenticated Jenkins user can be tricked into initiating a JDBC connection to an attacker-controlled server, potentially exposing database credentials or enabling SSRF attacks.

MitigationApply Jenkins CSRF protection (crumb validation) to the doTestJdbcConnection form validation endpoint in the plugin, typically by adding @ crumb annotation or implementing CrumbIssuer validation.

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. Check if Jenkins Audit to Database plugin is installed
    Navigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab, or use the Jenkins script console with: Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.plugins.collect { it.shortName }.contains('audit-to-database')
    Affected if The plugin is listed as installed - if present, all versions are affected since the entire version range is vulnerable
  2. Verify the plugin provides the DbAuditPublisher form validation endpoint
    Check if the plugin is accessible at Manage Jenkins > Configure System > Audit to Database section, or attempt to access a configuration page that triggers the doTestJdbcConnection form validation method
    Affected if The plugin configuration UI is accessible and allows form validation testing - this confirms the attack surface exists
  3. Confirm Jenkins user authentication is active
    Verify Jenkins has authentication enabled (Manage Jenkins > Configure Global Security > Authentication section shows users or an authentication realm is configured)
    Affected if Jenkins has authenticated users - the CSRF attack requires an authenticated user to be tricked into making the malicious request

If the Audit to Database plugin is installed and Jenkins has user authentication enabled, the environment is vulnerable to CSRF-induced JDBC connections.

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.
