Updated

Jenkins before 1.587 and LTS before 1.580.1 do not properly ensure trust separation between a master and slaves, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the master by leveraging access to the slave.

Jenkins Security Advisory SECURITY-144 notes:

Build slave processes can execute arbitrary code on Jenkins master, which makes Jenkins vulnerable from attacks that go through its build slaves.
