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
A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Jenkins Autocomplete Parameter Plugin 1.1 and earlier allows attackers to execute arbitrary code without sandbox protection if the victim is an administrator.

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

A CSRF vulnerability in Jenkins Autocomplete Parameter Plugin 1.1 and earlier allows authenticated administrators to be tricked into executing arbitrary code without sandbox protection. An attacker crafts a malicious request that, when triggered by an admin session, can execute arbitrary code on the Jenkins server.

MitigationUpdate Jenkins Autocomplete Parameter Plugin to a patched version. As a compensating control, restrict admin session cookies and implement additional validation for administrative actions.

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 Autocomplete Parameter Plugin is installed
    Navigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab, or check the plugin directory at $JENKINS_HOME/plugins/ for the autocomplete-parameter plugin folder
    Affected if The plugin is present in the Jenkins instance
  2. Determine the installed plugin version
    In Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab, locate Autocomplete Parameter and note the version number displayed
    Affected if The version is 1.1 or earlier (any version up to and including 1.1)
  3. Check if administrative configuration is accessible
    Navigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Configure System and look for Autocomplete Parameter configuration sections, or check for job parameters using Autocomplete Parameter type
    Affected if Administrative configuration UI for the plugin is accessible or the plugin is used in job configurations
  4. Confirm admin session handling
    Review Jenkins security realm configuration at Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Configure Global Security to verify how administrator sessions are managed
    Affected if No additional CSRF tokens or confirmation dialogs are required for plugin configuration changes

If the Autocomplete Parameter Plugin version 1.1 or earlier is installed and accessible to administrators, the environment is affected by this CVE.
