Arbitrary file disclosure in the Jenkins Email Extension Plugin (email-ext) versions 1933.v45cec755423f and earlier lets users who can control email content abuse the data-inline image attribute to supply file: URLs, causing the Jenkins controller to read local files and embed their contents as base64 inside outgoing emails. An authenticated attacker with rights to edit job email configuration or templates (CVSS PR:L) can exfiltrate controller secrets, credentials, and configuration. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and CISA's SSVC rates exploitation as none, but the CVSS 8.8 score and 'total' technical impact make controller secret theft a serious concern in shared Jenkins environments.

DescriptionCVE.org
Jenkins Email Extension Plugin 1933.v45cec755423f and earlier allows inlining images as base64 in email content by setting the data-inline attribute, without restrictions on the image URLs that can be inlined, allowing attackers able to control the email content to specify file: URLs for images to read arbitrary files from the Jenkins controller filesystem.
Executive ViewAI
Jenkins Email Extension Plugin (email-ext) versions 1933.v45cec755423f and earlier contains an arbitrary file disclosure vulnerability (CVE-2026-48920, CVSS 8.8) allowing authenticated users with email configuration rights to exfiltrate controller secrets and credentials. This creates immediate risk of unauthorized access to deployment credentials, API keys, and infrastructure configurations in shared Jenkins environments. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, requiring immediate access controls and monitoring.
24 hours: Identify all Jenkins controllers running email-ext version 1933.v45cec755423f or earlier; restrict 'Edit email notification' job permission to senior administrators only; audit all email templates for file:// URLs. 7 days: Monitor Jenkins audit logs for email configuration changes; rotate all Jenkins credentials and API keys stored on affected controllers as precautionary measure. 30 days: Deploy vendor patch for email-ext immediately upon availability; disable email-ext plugin if non-critical; implement alternative secure email notification mechanism.
Restrict email notification job permission to minimal set of trusted administrators; disable email-ext plugin if unused; implement network monitoring for suspicious email content patterns; conduct immediate audit and rotation of all Jenkins credentials and secrets; use Jenkins credential domain isolation to limit sensitive secret access; evaluate alternative email notification systems with sandbox containment.
