CVE-2024-23897: Jenkins Command Line Interface (CLI) Path Traversal Vulnerability
First published: Wed Jan 24 2024(Updated: )
Jenkins 2.441 and earlier, LTS 2.426.2 and earlier does not disable a feature of its CLI command parser that replaces an '@' character followed by a file path in an argument with the file's contents, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller file system.
