Global SSL/TLS Certificate Validation Disablement in Jenkins Proxmox Plugin

CVE-2022-28142

What is CVE-2022-28142?

The Jenkins Proxmox Plugin versions 0.6.0 and earlier present a security risk by globally disabling SSL/TLS certificate validation for the Jenkins controller JVM. This occurs when the plugin is configured to ignore SSL/TLS issues, potentially exposing the system to man-in-the-middle attacks and interception of sensitive data. The lack of validation undermines the integrity of secure communications, making environments vulnerable to exploitation.
