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
Jenkins Continuous Integration with Toad Edge Plugin 2.3 and earlier allows attackers with Item/Configure permission to read arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller by specifying an input folder on the Jenkins controller as a parameter to its build steps.

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

Jenkins Toad Edge Plugin versions 2.3 and earlier does not properly validate input folder parameters in build steps, allowing authenticated users with Item/Configure permission to read arbitrary files from the Jenkins controller file system by specifying file paths as parameters to build steps.

MitigationUpgrade Toad Edge Plugin to version 2.4 or later. Until patched, limit Item/Configure permission to only trusted users and monitor for suspicious configuration changes.

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. Verify Toad Edge Plugin is installed
    In Jenkins, go to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed and search for 'Toad Edge' or 'Jenkins Continuous Integration With Toad Edge' to confirm the plugin is present.
    Affected if The plugin is not listed in installed plugins, meaning the vulnerability does not apply.
  2. Check installed Toad Edge Plugin version
    In the installed plugins list, note the version number shown for the Toad Edge Plugin. Compare this version to the affected range: 2.3 and earlier.
    Affected if The installed version is 2.3 or any version lower than 2.3, indicating the plugin is vulnerable.
  3. Verify Item/Configure permission assignments
    Go to Manage Jenkins > Manage Users and review which users or groups have Item/Configure permission. In each job's configuration, check who has permission to configure the job.
    Affected if Untrusted or unauthorized users have Item/Configure permission, creating the condition required for exploitation.
  4. Review Toad Edge build step configurations
    Examine configured jobs that use Toad Edge build steps. Look at the build step parameters, specifically any folder or path input fields that accept user-provided folder names.
    Affected if Build steps contain folder path parameters that could be manipulated to read arbitrary files.

A user is affected if they have Toad Edge Plugin version 2.3 or earlier installed AND have users with Item/Configure permission that could exploit the path validation flaw in build step parameters.

Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 2.3
Interim mitigation

Upgrade Toad Edge Plugin to version 2.4 or later. Until patched, limit Item/Configure permission to only trusted users and monitor for suspicious configuration changes.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Version 2.4 or later

  1. 1. Navigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins
