CVE-2023-37947
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 · uneditedJenkins OpenShift Login Plugin 1.1.0.227.v27e08dfb_1a_20 and earlier improperly determines that a redirect URL after login is legitimately pointing to Jenkins, allowing attackers to perform phishing attacks.
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 Jenkins OpenShift Login Plugin before version 1.1.0.227.v27e08dfb_1a_20 contains an open redirect vulnerability in its authentication flow. After a user successfully authenticates via OpenShift, the plugin fails to properly validate that the post-login redirect URL points to the legitimate Jenkins instance, allowing attackers to craft malicious links that redirect authenticated users to external phishing sites.

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.
-
Identify installed OpenShift Login Plugin versionNavigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab and locate the 'OpenShift Login' plugin in the list. The version column shows the currently installed version.Affected if The installed version is lower than 1.1.0.230.v5d7030b_f5432.
-

Check if 'OpenShift Login' appears in the list of active Security Realm providers.Affected if The OpenShift Login plugin is enabled as an active authentication method.
-
Verify OpenShift client plugin dependencyNavigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab and confirm the 'OpenShift Client Plugin' is also installed, as OpenShift Login depends on it.Affected if Both the OpenShift Login and OpenShift Client plugins are installed.
-
Check for redirect URL validation in plugin configurationReview the plugin configuration at Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Configure Global Security.
