AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N
PR:L confirmed by Overall/Read requirement; I:N because the flaw captures credentials but does not modify Jenkins data; C:L scoped to the Jenkins component.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A missing permission check in Jenkins EC2 Fleet Plugin 4.2.3.539.v8fedff2a_81c3 and earlier allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified URL using attacker-specified credentials IDs obtained through another method, capturing AWS credentials stored in Jenkins.
AnalysisAI
Missing permission check in Jenkins EC2 Fleet Plugin versions up to 4.2.3.539.v8fedff2a_81c3 enables any authenticated user holding the low-privilege Overall/Read role to trigger a credential-capture attack by directing the plugin to connect to an attacker-controlled endpoint and transmitting AWS credentials stored in Jenkins. The attacker must independently obtain a valid credential ID before exploiting this flaw, making it a chained attack rather than a direct standalone exploit. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid Jenkins account with at least the Overall/Read permission - the minimum authenticated role granted to any logged-in Jenkins user, meaning this is effectively a low-barrier authenticated attack in most Jenkins deployments. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-assigned CVSS 5.4 (Medium) reflects network accessibility (AV:N), low privilege requirement (PR:L), and modest confidentiality and integrity impacts (C:L/I:L). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with a valid Jenkins account (any account with Overall/Read, the default for all authenticated users) first enumerates credential IDs stored in Jenkins through a separate method - such as another plugin vulnerability, a misconfigured credential API response, or insider knowledge. The attacker then calls the EC2 Fleet Plugin's connectivity-test endpoint, supplying an attacker-controlled server as the target URL and the harvested credential ID, causing Jenkins to authenticate to the attacker's server and transmit the AWS credentials. … |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to upgrade the Jenkins EC2 Fleet Plugin to the version released in response to SECURITY-3774 as documented in the Jenkins Security Advisory at https://www.jenkins.io/security/advisory/2026-06-24/#SECURITY-3774. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
