CVE-2019-10338
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 cross-site request forgery vulnerability in Jenkins JX Resources Plugin 1.0.36 and earlier in GlobalPluginConfiguration#doValidateClient allowed attackers to have Jenkins connect to an attacker-specified Kubernetes server, potentially leaking credentials.
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 cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Jenkins JX Resources Plugin versions 1.0.36 and earlier in the GlobalPluginConfiguration#doValidateClient method allows attackers to trick Jenkins into connecting to an attacker-controlled Kubernetes server. Since Jenkins sends stored credentials during Kubernetes server validation, this can lead to credential exfiltration to the malicious 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.
-
Verify JX Resources Plugin is installedIn Jenkins, go to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed and search for 'JX Resources' or 'j x resources' to confirm the plugin is present.Affected if The JX Resources plugin is listed as installed.
-
Check installed JX Resources Plugin versionIn the Installed Plugins list, find the JX Resources plugin and note the version number shown in the Version column.Affected if The installed version is 1.0.36 or lower.
-
Verify GlobalPluginConfiguration form is accessibleAttempt to access the plugin configuration page at Manage Jenkins > Configure System, then look for the JX Resources section with Kubernetes server validation fields.Affected if The GlobalPluginConfiguration form with Kubernetes server validation is accessible and contains fields for Kubernetes server URL and credentials.
-
Check for stored Kubernetes credentialsIn the JX Resources Plugin configuration, verify if any Kubernetes server URLs and associated credentials are configured and saved.Affected if Kubernetes server credentials are stored in the plugin configuration.
You are affected if the JX Resources Plugin is installed with version 1.0.36 or lower and has Kubernetes server credentials configured in the GlobalPluginConfiguration form.

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 JX Resources Plugin to a version newer than 1.0.36, which should include CSRF protection via Jenkins' built-incrumb token validation or equivalent protection mechanism.
