Complete lack of CSRF protection in Jenkins Selenium Plugin can lead to OS command injection

  • Disclosed: 24.05.2022
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 11:21

Selenium Plugin 3.141.59 and earlier has no CSRF protection for its HTTP endpoints.

This allows attackers to perform the following actions:

  • Restart the Selenium Grid hub.
  • Delete or replace the plugin configuration.
  • Start, stop, or restart Selenium configurations on specific nodes.

Through carefully chosen configuration parameters, these actions can result in OS command injection on the Jenkins controller.
