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 missing permission check in Jenkins Tuleap Git Branch Source Plugin 3.2.4 and earlier allows unauthenticated attackers to trigger Tuleap projects whose configured repository matches the attacker-specified value.

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

The Tuleap Git Branch Source Plugin version 3.2.4 and earlier lacks proper permission checks in certain endpoints. This allows unauthenticated attackers to make API calls that trigger Tuleap project repository actions by specifying a repository value, potentially causing unauthorized CI/CD pipeline triggers or repository operations.

MitigationUpdate Jenkins Tuleap Git Branch Source Plugin to version 3.2.5 or later, which includes the missing permission check. If immediate update is not possible, consider restricting network access to the Jenkins instance or disabling the plugin until patched.
