Published Feb 15, 2022
·
Updated

A flaw was found in Jenkins. The JenkinsPipeline: Shared Groovy Libraries uses the same checkout directories for distinct SCMs for Pipeline libraries. This flaw allows attackers with item/configure permission to invoke arbitrary OS commands on the controller through crafted SCM contents. This allows attackers to compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
