Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.

You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.

What is this endpoint?

api/v1/jenkins/job/build

Jenkins Build API

What an attacker could do

An unauthenticated build-trigger endpoint lets an attacker run arbitrary pipeline jobs, and combined with the Jenkins script console or Groovy build steps this leads to remote code execution on the controller and access to stored CI credentials.

How to defend it

Enable Jenkins security with matrix/role-based authorization, require authenticated CSRF-protected build triggers, and isolate the controller from the public internet.
