CVE-2022-25182: High severity jenkins pipeline vulnerability

Published Feb 15, 2022
·
Updated

A flaw was found in Jenkins. The Pipeline: Shared Groovy Libraries Plugin uses the names of Pipeline libraries to create directories without canonicalization or sanitization. This flaw allows attackers with item/configure permission to execute arbitrary code in the context of the Jenkins controller, JVM, using specially crafted library names if a global Pipeline library is already configured.
