Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from two flaws in the connection test endpoint: 1) Missing Jenkins.ADMINISTER permission check (CWE-862), and 2) Lack of POST method enforcement (enabling CSRF). The commit a261229 shows the fix added both the permission check and @POST annotation to doTestConnection. The testConnection handler in MongoDBKnowledgeBase.java was the affected endpoint, as confirmed by security tests in CauseManagementPermissionTest.java that validate() POST enforcement and admin requirements post-fix.
