CVE-2022-46688

Jenkins Sonar Gerrit Plugin vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery

A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Jenkins Sonar Gerrit Plugin 377.v8f3808963dc5 and earlier allows attackers to have Jenkins connect to Gerrit servers (previously configured by Jenkins administrators) using attacker-specified credentials IDs obtained through another method, potentially capturing credentials stored in Jenkins.

A victim's authenticated browser session is used to submit forged requests to an application that cannot distinguish them from legitimate ones. Typical impact: state-changing actions performed as the victim without their consent.

CVE-2022-46688 has a CVSS score of 5.4 (Medium). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and user interaction required. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (378.vf4646d4df087); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

1. What is CVE-2022-46688? CVE-2022-46688 is a medium-severity cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in org.jenkins-ci.plugins:sonar-gerrit (maven), affecting versions <= 377.v8f3808963dc5. It is fixed in 378.vf4646d4df087. A victim's authenticated browser session is used to submit forged requests to an application that cannot distinguish them from legitimate ones.
2. How severe is CVE-2022-46688? CVE-2022-46688 has a CVSS score of 5.4 (Medium). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
3. Which versions of org.jenkins-ci.plugins:sonar-gerrit are affected by CVE-2022-46688? org.jenkins-ci.plugins:sonar-gerrit (maven) versions <= 377.v8f3808963dc5 is affected.
4. Is there a fix for CVE-2022-46688? Yes. CVE-2022-46688 is fixed in 378.vf4646d4df087. Upgrade to this version or later.
5. Is CVE-2022-46688 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2022-46688 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

6. What actually determines whether CVE-2022-46688 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
7. How do I fix CVE-2022-46688? Upgrade org.jenkins-ci.plugins:sonar-gerrit to 378.vf4646d4df087 or later.
