CVE-2019-16570
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 RapidDeploy Plugin 4.1 and earlier allows attackers to connect to an attacker-specified web 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 confidenceA cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Jenkins RapidDeploy Plugin versions 4.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to trick authenticated users into causing the Jenkins server to connect to attacker-specified web servers. This could enable server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks or exfiltration of sensitive data through the compromised Jenkins infrastructure.

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 RapidDeploy plugin is installedNavigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab, or run: jenkins-cli.jar groovy = manager.plugins.each { if (it.shortName == 'rapiddeploy') println it }. The RapidDeploy plugin has shortName 'rapiddeploy'.Affected if The plugin appears in the installed list
-
Determine installed RapidDeploy versionIn Jenkins UI, go to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed and locate RapidDeploy in the list to view the version column. Alternatively, via CLI: jenkins-cli.jar groovy = manager.plugins.find { it.shortName == 'rapiddeploy' }.versionAffected if A version number is displayed that is 4.1 or lower
-
Compare version against affected rangeCompare the installed version number to the affected range: versions 4.1 and earlier. If the version is 4.1, 4.0, 3.x or any lower number, it falls within the vulnerable range.Affected if Installed version is 4.1 or lower (e.g., 4.1, 4.0, 3.1, 1.0)
-
Confirm plugin is enabled and in useNavigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Configure System > look for RapidDeploy configuration section, or check job configurations that reference RapidDeploy. The vulnerability requires the plugin to be active.Affected if RapidDeploy configuration exists or jobs reference the plugin
Users are affected if the RapidDeploy plugin is installed and the version is 4.1 or earlier, regardless of whether it is actively configured.

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 RapidDeploy plugin to a version beyond 4.1 that contains the CSRF fix. If an updated version is unavailable, disable the plugin until a patched release is available.
