CVE-2019-16575
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 Alauda Kubernetes Suport Plugin 2.3.0 and earlier allows attackers to connect to an attacker-specified URL using attacker-specified credentials IDs obtained through another method, capturing the Kubernetes service account token or credentials stored in Jenkins.
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 confidenceCross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Jenkins Alauda Kubernetes Support Plugin version 2.3.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to trigger authenticated requests to attacker-specified URLs using stored credential IDs, potentially exfiltrating Kubernetes service account tokens or other Jenkins credentials stored in the system.

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.
-
Identify if Alauda Kubernetes Support Plugin is installedNavigate to Jenkins Manage Plugins > Installed tab and search for 'Alauda Kubernetes Support', or check the plugin directory if you have direct filesystem accessAffected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list
-
Determine the installed version of the pluginIn Jenkins, go to Manage Plugins > Installed and locate the Alauda Kubernetes Support Plugin to view its version number, then compare against the affected range of 2.3.0 and earlierAffected if The displayed version is 2.3.0 or any earlier version
-
Verify the plugin is enabled and activeCheck the Jenkins configuration under Manage Jenkins > Configure System or Manage Jenkins > Global Security to see if the Alauda Kubernetes Support plugin features are currently enabledAffected if The plugin is installed, vulnerable version, and actively loaded by Jenkins
-
Check for stored credential usageReview Jenkins credentials configuration under Manage Jenkins > Credentials to see if any Kubernetes-related credentials or service account tokens are stored, particularly those associated with Alauda or Kubernetes cloud configurationsAffected if Any Kubernetes service account tokens or other Jenkins credentials are stored in the system while the vulnerable plugin version is present
You are affected if the Alauda Kubernetes Support Plugin is installed with version 2.3.0 or earlier and the plugin is enabled, regardless of whether credentials are actively configured.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 dataUpdate the Alauda Kubernetes Support Plugin to a version newer than 2.3.0 that addresses this CSRF vulnerability. If no patched version is available, disable the plugin and review all stored credentials for potential compromise.
