CVE-2022-25183: 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 cache directories without any 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 configured to use caching already exists.
