DescriptionCVE.org

A missing permission check in Jenkins Script Security Plugin 1399.ve6a_66547f6e1 and earlier allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to enumerate pending and approved Script Security classpaths.

AnalysisAI

Jenkins Script Security Plugin versions up to and including 1399.ve6a_66547f6e1 expose classpath enumeration to any user holding the low-privilege Overall/Read permission due to a missing authorization check (CWE-862). Any authenticated Jenkins user can query pending and approved Script Security classpaths without elevated rights, leaking internal class names, library paths, and approved script configuration useful for targeted reconnaissance. No public exploit exists and EPSS sits at 0.03% (7th percentile), placing this firmly in the low-urgency tier despite its network-reachable vector.

Technical ContextAI

The Jenkins Script Security Plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:jenkins_project:jenkins_script_security_plugin) implements a Groovy script sandbox on the Jenkins controller, maintaining an allowlist of approved scripts and class paths submitted by developers for administrator review. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) identifies the root cause: an HTTP endpoint responsible for returning pending and approved classpath entries performs no authorization check beyond the base Overall/Read permission, which Jenkins grants to all authenticated users in most deployments. This is a recurring pattern in Jenkins plugin development where ancillary management endpoints are wired up without per-operation permission guards, allowing low-privilege callers to reach data intended only for administrators.

RemediationAI

Upgrade the Jenkins Script Security Plugin to a version beyond 1399.ve6a_66547f6e1 using the Jenkins Plugin Manager or the vendor advisory at https://www.jenkins.io/security/advisory/2026-04-29/#SECURITY-3662; the exact patched version number is not independently confirmed in the available data, so consult the advisory directly for the released fix version. As a compensating control where immediate patching is not feasible, restrict Overall/Read access to only trusted, known users - avoid granting any authentication to external or untrusted parties, since this eliminates the attacker's ability to reach the vulnerable endpoint entirely. Note that tightening Jenkins authentication broadly may affect CI/CD automation accounts and should be tested before deployment. No workaround short of access restriction is available for the missing permission check itself.
