Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

DotCi Plugin provides a webhook endpoint at /githook/ that can be used to trigger builds of the job for a GitHub repository. In DotCi Plugin 2.40.00 and earlier, this endpoint can be accessed without authentication. This allows unauthenticated attackers to trigger builds of jobs corresponding to the attacker-specified repository for attacker-specified commits. This plugin has been suspended.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2022-41238

Advisory: Lack of authentication mechanism in Jenkins DotCi Plugin webhook
IDs: CVE-2022-41238, GHSA-9mc6-vgmq-x6xf
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2022-41238 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:36 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.3)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven com.groupon.jenkins-ci.plugins:DotCi: affected <= 2.40.00

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven com.groupon.jenkins-ci.plugins:DotCi: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on com.groupon.jenkins-ci.plugins:DotCi.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-9mc6-vgmq-x6xf (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-9mc6-vgmq-x6xf lists affected ranges: Maven com.groupon.jenkins-ci.plugins:DotCi >=0 <=2.40.00)

Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
