Summary

CVE-2023-37942 is a vulnerability affecting the Jenkins External Monitor Job Type Plugin version 206.v9a_94ff0b_4a_10 and earlier. This issue allows XML External Entity (XXE) attacks, which can potentially lead to information disclosure or server side request forgery. The plugin's XML parser is not configured to prevent such attacks, leaving Jenkins instances vulnerable to remote attackers who can exploit this weakness to gain unauthorized access or manipulate data. This vulnerability underscores the importance of keeping software up-to-date and implementing security best practices, such as configuring parsers to prevent XXE attacks, to protect against cyber threats.
