AI-suggested
To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should immediately update the Jenkins NeuVector Vulnerability Scanner Plugin to a version that patches CVE-2023-49673 once available. Until a patch is released, organizations should implement strict network segmentation to limit Jenkins server access and restrict outbound connections from Jenkins to only trusted hosts and ports. Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) for Jenkins users to reduce the risk of successful social engineering attacks that could trigger CSRF exploits. Additionally, review and harden Jenkins security settings, including enabling CSRF protection globally and validating plugin configurations for any custom endpoints exposed. Monitoring Jenkins logs for unusual outbound connections or suspicious user activity can provide early detection of exploitation attempts. Educate users about the risks of phishing and the importance of not interacting with unsolicited Jenkins-related requests. Finally, consider employing web application firewalls (WAFs) or reverse proxies with CSRF protection capabilities to add an additional security layer.
Description
A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Jenkins NeuVector Vulnerability Scanner Plugin 1.22 and earlier allows attackers to connect to an attacker-specified hostname and port using attacker-specified username and password.
