CVSS v3.1

9.0

Critical

Base vector

AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Jenkins versions 2.318 and earlier Jenkins LTS versions 2.303.2 and earlier

Description The issue is related to the agent-to-controller security subsystem of Jenkins, where file path filters do not canonicalize paths. This allows operations to follow symbolic links to outside allowed directories, potentially compromising the confidentiality and integrity of protected information.

Recommendations For Jenkins versions 2.318 and earlier, update to a version that fixes the issue. For Jenkins LTS versions 2.303.2 and earlier, update to a version that fixes the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive directories to minimize the risk of exploitation.
