Jenkins · Jenkins Yaml Axis Plugin · CVE-2020-2179
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Jenkins Yaml Axis Plugin versions 0.2.0 and earlier
**Description**
The issue results from the YAML parser not being configured to prevent the instantiation of arbitrary types, leading to a remote code execution vulnerability. This vulnerability is exploitable by users who can configure a multi-configuration job or control the contents of a previously configured job's SCM repository.
**Recommendations**
For Jenkins Yaml Axis Plugin versions 0.2.0 and earlier, update to version 0.2.1 or later, which configures its YAML parser to only instantiate safe types.
