CVE-2023-24458
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 (CSRF) vulnerability in Jenkins BearyChat Plugin 3.0.2 and earlier allows attackers to connect to an attacker-specified URL.
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 confidenceThe BearyChat Plugin for Jenkins versions 3.0.2 and earlier lacks proper cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection. This allows authenticated Jenkins users to be tricked into making unintended requests that force the plugin to connect to attacker-controlled URLs, potentially enabling server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks, data exfiltration, or internal network reconnaissance.

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 BearyChat plugin is installedNavigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab and search for 'BearyChat' or check the plugin directory $JENKINS_HOME/plugins for bearychat/ directoryAffected if The BearyChat plugin is present in the installed plugins list
-
Determine BearyChat plugin versionIn Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab, locate BearyChat and note the version number displayed in the plugin information columnAffected if The installed version is 3.0.2 or any version lower than 3.0.2
-
Confirm BearyChat plugin is configured and activeNavigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Configure System and look for the BearyChat configuration section, or check if any Jenkins jobs have BearyChat notification steps configuredAffected if The plugin has an active configuration or is used in job definitions, making it reachable via user interactions
-
Check global CSRF protection statusNavigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Configure Global Security and verify if 'CSRF Protection' is enabled under the Security realm or header sectionAffected if CSRF protection is disabled orcrumb validation is not enforced, which would allow the CSRF attack vector to succeed
You are affected if the BearyChat plugin is installed at version 3.0.2 or earlier AND is actively configured in Jenkins, particularly if CSRF protection is not enforced globally.
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 the BearyChat Plugin to a version newer than 3.0.2 which includes CSRF protection (crumb validation). If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict Jenkins administrative access and consider network segmentation to limit impact of potential SSRF attacks.
