Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This Jenkins plugin flaw lets an attacker trick a logged-in user into making Jenkins connect to an attacker-chosen server with attacker-chosen credentials. The business concern is exposure of Jenkins-held network access and credentials. The source bundle does not show confirmed active exploitation.
Executive priority
Treat as high priority where the plugin is installed. Jenkins often holds deployment credentials and privileged network access, so even a user-assisted CSRF path can create meaningful operational and credential risk.
Technical view
CVE-2022-41227 is a CSRF issue in Jenkins NS-ND Integration Performance Publisher Plugin 4.8.0.129 and earlier. It is CWE-352 with CVSS 8.8. The vector is network-accessible, low complexity, no attacker privileges, and requires user interaction.
Likely exposure
Organizations running Jenkins with the NS-ND Integration Performance Publisher Plugin version 4.8.0.129 or earlier are potentially exposed. Exposure depends on whether the plugin is installed and reachable through Jenkins administrative workflows.
Exploitation context
The CVSS vector requires user interaction, consistent with CSRF. The source bundle says attackers can cause Jenkins to connect to an attacker-specified webserver using attacker-specified credentials. It is not listed as CISA KEV in the provided data.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to the CVE record and Jenkins advisory reference. No exploit status, fixed version details, or workaround text is included in the provided bundle. Avoid assuming exploitation or remediation specifics beyond vendor guidance.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory Jenkins instances for the affected plugin and version.
- Check Jenkins security advisory SECURITY-2737 for vendor remediation guidance.
- Upgrade, disable, or remove the plugin according to Jenkins guidance.
- Restrict Jenkins administrative access to trusted users and networks.
- Review stored credentials and rotate any suspected exposed secrets.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the plugin is installed on each Jenkins controller.
- Record plugin versions and flag 4.8.0.129 or earlier.
- Review Jenkins audit and network logs for unexpected outbound connections.
- Verify remediation through Jenkins plugin inventory after changes.
- Document compensating controls if immediate remediation is unavailable.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
