Jenkins OctoPerf Load Testing Plugin vulnerable to credential capture

  • Disclosed: 02.04.2023
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 12:21

OctoPerf Load Testing Plugin Plugin 4.5.1 and earlier does not perform a permission check in a connection test HTTP endpoint.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified URL using attacker-specified credentials IDs obtained through another method, capturing credentials stored in Jenkins.

OctoPerf Load Testing Plugin Plugin 4.5.2 properly performs a permission check when accessing the affected connection test HTTP endpoint.
