CVE-2026-57297: Vulnerability in Jenkins Project Jenkins Contrast Continuous Application Security Plugin
A missing permission check in Jenkins Contrast Continuous Application Security Plugin 3.11 and earlier allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified URL using an attacker-specified username, API key, and service key.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-57297 is a vulnerability in Jenkins Contrast Continuous Application Security Plugin (versions prior to 3.12) where a missing permission check permits attackers who have Overall/Read permission to connect to arbitrary URLs using attacker-supplied username, API key, and service key. This flaw arises from improper authorization controls (CWE-862) within the plugin, potentially enabling unauthorized use of credentials to interact with external services.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows attackers with limited read permissions to leverage attacker-specified credentials to connect to arbitrary URLs. This can lead to unauthorized information disclosure and integrity impacts related to the misuse of these credentials. There is no indication of availability impact or known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or patch link is provided, users should monitor Jenkins project advisories for updates. Until a fix is available, restrict Overall/Read permissions to trusted users only to reduce risk.
