Description PRE-NVD

Disclosed via oss-security. NVD scoring and full description are pending.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary file write via crafted tar archive extraction in Jenkins 2.575 and earlier allows attackers controlling agent processes to escape extraction directory boundaries on the controller filesystem, directly enabling remote code execution. The root cause is unsafe handling of symbolic links with effectively empty names during .tar and .tar.gz extraction on the controller, permitting writes to sensitive paths such as JENKINS_HOME/init.groovy.d/ (Groovy init scripts) or JENKINS_HOME/plugins/ (plugin deployment). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to control a Jenkins agent process - either by directly compromising an agent host at the OS level, by injecting malicious code into a build running on an agent, or by having Agent/Connect permission in Jenkins and operating a rogue agent. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment No CVSS vector or EPSS score was provided in the input data, so risk signals must be inferred from the vulnerability description. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade Jenkins to version 2.576 (weekly channel) or Jenkins LTS 2.568.2 or later; both are confirmed fix releases per the vendor advisory at https://www.jenkins.io/security/advisory/2026-08-05/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Jenkins instances and identify those running version 2.575 or earlier, and document the number and criticality of connected agents. …
