CVE-2019-10339
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 missing permission check in Jenkins JX Resources Plugin 1.0.36 and earlier in GlobalPluginConfiguration#doValidateClient allowed users with Overall/Read access 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 missing permission check in Jenkins JX Resources Plugin versions 1.0.36 and earlier in the GlobalPluginConfiguration#doValidateClient method allows authenticated users with only Overall/Read access to configure Jenkins to connect to an attacker-specified Kubernetes server, potentially exposing credentials stored in Jenkins.

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.
-
Check if JX Resources Plugin is installedNavigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab and look for 'JX Resources' or 'jx-resources' in the list of installed pluginsAffected if The plugin is listed as installed in Jenkins
-
Determine the installed version of JX Resources PluginIn the Installed plugins tab, find the Version column for the JX Resources plugin. Compare this version number to 1.0.36Affected if The installed version is 1.0.36 or earlier
-
Check access to the vulnerable methodAttempt to access or verify the existence of the GlobalPluginConfiguration#doValidateClient endpoint by examining plugin configuration URLs or checking if the 'Configure Clouds' or related Kubernetes configuration page is accessibleAffected if The plugin configuration interface for Kubernetes resources is accessible without elevated permissions
-
Identify users with Overall/Read permissionNavigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Manage Users and review user accounts. Check Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Configure Global Security to see which users are granted only the Overall/Read permissionAffected if There are user accounts in Jenkins that have only Overall/Read access (no higher-level permissions)
-
Verify credential storageCheck if Kubernetes credentials or cloud configuration credentials are stored in Jenkins (look under Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Configure Clouds or Credentials)Affected if Kubernetes or cloud credentials are stored in Jenkins that could be exposed if the attacker-controlled Kubernetes server connection succeeds
You are affected if the JX Resources Plugin version is 1.0.36 or earlier, the plugin is installed and accessible, and users with only Overall/Read permission exist in Jenkins with credentials stored that could be exposed to an attacker-specified Kubernetes server.

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 JX Resources Plugin to a version after 1.0.36 that includes proper permission checks, or restrict Overall/Read access to untrusted users until the patch can be applied.
