CVE-2019-10311 is a missing permission check vulnerability in Jenkins Ansible Tower Plugin versions 0.9.1 and earlier. It allows authenticated attackers with Overall/Read permissions to bypass intended access controls during the TowerInstallation.TowerInstallationDescriptor#doTestTowerConnection form validation. This enables them to connect to arbitrary URLs using credentials already stored in Jenkins, potentially leading to the capture of those credentials. Rated with a CVSS score of 8.8 (High), this vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with low privileges and no user interaction, resulting in high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The core issue is a missing authorization check (CWE-862). There is no evidence of active exploitation, nor are there publicly available exploit modules in Metasploit or Nuclei, or entries in ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are minimal, indicating a low level of public awareness or attention.
