Jenkins Poll SCM Plugin vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery

Source: GitHub Advisory Database (reviewed) High CVE-2017-1000093

Packages

Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

Jenkins Poll SCM Plugin was not requiring requests to its API be sent via POST, thereby opening itself to Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. This allowed attackers to initiate polling of projects with a known name. While Jenkins in general does not consider polling to be a protection-worthy action as it's similar to cache invalidation, the plugin specifically adds a permission to be able to use this functionality, and this issue undermines that permission. This functionality now is only available via POST.
