A sandbox bypass vulnerability exists in Jenkins Pipeline: Groovy Plugin 2.63 and earlier in pom.xml, src/main/java/org/jenkinsci/plugins/workflow/cps/CpsGroovyShell.java that allows attackers able to control pipeline scripts to execute arbitrary code on the Jenkins master JVM.

Other sources

Jenkins Matrix Project plugin contains a vulnerability which can allow users to escape the sandbox, opening opportunity to perform remote code execution.

CISA

The Jenkins Pipeline: Groovy sandbox protection could be circumvented during parsing, compilation, and script instantiation by providing a crafted Groovy script.

This allowed users able to control the contents of a pipeline to bypass the sandbox protection and execute arbitrary code on the Jenkins master.

Pipeline: Groovy Plugin now uses Script Security APIs that apply sandbox protection during these phases.
