CSRF vulnerability in Jenkins Active Directory Plugin
Jenkins Active Directory Plugin 2.19 and earlier does not require POST requests for multiple HTTP endpoints implementing connection and authentication tests, resulting in cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities.
This vulnerability allows attackers to perform connection tests, connecting to attacker-specified or previously configured Active Directory servers using attacker-specified credentials.
Active Directory Plugin 2.20 requires POST requests for the affected HTTP endpoints.
