DescriptionNVD

Jenkins 2.554 and earlier, LTS 2.541.2 and earlier does not safely handle symbolic links during the extraction of .tar and .tar.gz archives, allowing crafted archives to write files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem, restricted only by file system access permissions of the user running Jenkins. This can be exploited to deploy malicious scripts or plugins on the controller by attackers with Item/Configure permission, or able to control agent processes.

AnalysisAI

Jenkins versions 2.554 and earlier (LTS 2.541.2 and earlier) contain a path traversal vulnerability in their handling of tar and tar.gz archive extraction that fails to safely process symbolic links, allowing attackers to write files to arbitrary filesystem locations. Attackers with Item/Configure permission or control over Jenkins agent processes can exploit this to deploy malicious scripts and plugins on the Jenkins controller, achieving code execution with the privileges of the Jenkins process. …
