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 CSRF vulnerability in Jenkins OpenShift Deployer Plugin 1.2.0 and earlier allows attackers to trick authenticated users into making unintended requests that connect to attacker-specified URLs using attacker-specified credentials, effectively enabling unauthorized external connections through the victim's authenticated session.

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 OpenShift Deployer plugin is installedLog into Jenkins and navigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab, or list the contents of $JENKINS_HOME/plugins/ directory for a folder named openshift-deployer or similarAffected if The OpenShift Deployer plugin appears in the installed plugins list
-
Determine the installed plugin versionIn Jenkins UI, click on the OpenShift Deployer plugin entry to view its details, or inspect the plugin's manifest file (META-INF/MANIFEST.MF) inside the plugin hpi/jpi fileAffected if The displayed version is 1.2.0 or earlier
-
Confirm the plugin is actively configuredNavigate to the Jenkins configuration pages related to OpenShift (typically under Manage Jenkins or job configurations) to see if any OpenShift Deployer configurations existAffected if The plugin has active configurations, jobs, or credentials defined using it
-
Check if CSRF protection is enabled globallyGo to Manage Jenkins > Configure Global Security and verify the CSRF Protection setting; note that plugin-specific CSRF protection is what matters for this CVE, and earlier plugin versions lack itAffected if CSRF protection is not enforced at the Jenkins level or the plugin version lacks built-in CSRF protection (versions 1.2.0 and earlier)
-
Identify any authenticated sessions or credentials in useReview Manage Credentials pages and any OpenShift-related job configurations to see if credentials are stored and used with the pluginAffected if Any credentials are configured for use with the OpenShift Deployer plugin
The environment is affected if the Jenkins OpenShift Deployer plugin is installed and its version is 1.2.0 or earlier, regardless of whether it is actively configured or in use.
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 dataUpgrade to Jenkins OpenShift Deployer Plugin version 1.2.1 or later, which includes CSRF protection fixes. Alternatively, disable the plugin if not needed until an upgrade is possible.
