MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The victim must be an authenticated Jenkins user with privileges to modify global job priority configuration - typically a Jenkins administrator or a user with Overall/Administer permission. The Jenkins Priority Sorter Plugin must be installed and running at or below version 936.v2c01c6b_84449. Exploitation requires that the victim actively visit or load attacker-controlled web content while holding an active authenticated Jenkins session - this mandatory user interaction (UI:R per CVSS) cannot be bypassed and is the primary limiting factor. SSVC confirms the attack is not automatable. Impact is bounded strictly to the integrity of the global job priority configuration; confidentiality and availability are unaffected. Non-default deployment conditions are not required beyond having the plugin installed. |
| Impact | CVSS 4.3 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N reflects a low-medium finding: the attack is network-reachable and requires no attacker credentials, but mandatory user interaction (UI:R) prevents automated exploitation and the impact ceiling is limited integrity degradation (I:L) with zero confidentiality or availability consequence. EPSS at 0.11% (1st percentile) is consistent with no observed exploitation activity. CISA SSVC independently confirms exploitation as none, automatable as no (user interaction is a hard prerequisite), and technical impact as partial - all signals converge on a low real-world threat level. No KEV listing and no public POC have been identified. The practical blast radius is narrow: only global job scheduling priority is at risk, not code execution or secrets exposure. This is a legitimate finding but not a priority unless Jenkins is externally exposed and build queue integrity is business-critical. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious webpage containing a hidden HTML form that auto-submits a POST request to the Jenkins Priority Sorter Plugin's global configuration endpoint with attacker-controlled priority values. A Jenkins administrator is phished into visiting the page while logged into Jenkins; the browser automatically includes the session cookie, causing Jenkins to accept and persist the forged configuration. No public POC has been identified at time of analysis, so exploitation currently requires manual crafting. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 22, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Jenkins Priority Sorter Plugin 936.v2c01c6b_84449 and earlier enables a network-based attacker to overwrite global job priority configuration by luring an authenticated Jenkins user into triggering a forged HTTP request. Exploitation requires mandatory victim interaction and produces only limited integrity impact - no confidentiality or availability loss. No public exploit code exists, EPSS sits at the 1st percentile, and CISA SSVC records exploitation status as none, making this a low operational priority for most organizations.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Jenkins Priority Sorter Plugin to the version released after 936.v2c01c6b_84449 as specified in the Jenkins security advisory at https://www.jenkins.io/security/advisory/2026-06-24/#SECURITY-3769 - the exact patched version number is not independently confirmed from available input data and should be verified directly in the advisory before deployment. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict Jenkins web UI access to trusted internal networks or VPN-only access to eliminate the external attack surface, which removes the network reachability that makes this CSRF exploitable remotely. Separately, verify that Jenkins' built-in crumb-based CSRF protection is enabled (it is on by default in modern Jenkins core releases via Manage Jenkins > Configure Global Security); while this does not substitute for a plugin-level fix, it reduces the overall CSRF attack surface. Disabling the Priority Sorter Plugin entirely is a viable workaround if job priority management is not operationally required.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Jenkins Priority Sorter Plugin extends the Jenkins CI/CD automation server to manage relative execution priorities among jobs queued in the build scheduler. CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery) identifies the root cause: the plugin endpoint responsible for persisting global priority configuration fails to validate a CSRF token, allowing a forged state-changing POST to be submitted under an authenticated user's active session. CSRF attacks exploit the browser's automatic inclusion of session cookies - since Jenkins trusts the browser, a request originating from a third-party malicious page is indistinguishable from a legitimate one if no nonce or origin check is enforced. CPE cpe:2.3:a:jenkins_project:jenkins_priority_sorter_plugin:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms all versions up to and including 936.v2c01c6b_84449 lack this control.
