DescriptionCVE.org

A missing permission check in Jenkins Pipeline: Build Step Plugin 599.v4b_67ea_11b_152 and earlier causes downstream builds triggered by the build step to be canceled even when the build's authentication lacks Item/Cancel permission on the downstream job.

AnalysisAI

Missing Item/Cancel permission enforcement in Jenkins Pipeline: Build Step Plugin ≤599.v4b_67ea_11b_152 allows authenticated low-privilege users to cancel downstream builds they are not authorized to abort. When an upstream pipeline job using the build step is canceled, the plugin propagates the cancellation to all triggered downstream jobs without verifying that the build's authentication context holds Item/Cancel permission on those downstream jobs. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated Jenkins session with at minimum Item/Build permission on an upstream pipeline job that contains a `build` step invoking a downstream job. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 5.4 Medium score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L) reflects a bounded but genuine impact: exploitation demands authenticated access, and consequences are limited to unauthorized build cancellations rather than data exfiltration or remote code execution. … 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 Pipeline: Build Step Plugin to a version beyond 599.v4b_67ea_11b_152 per the Jenkins security advisory at https://www.jenkins.io/security/advisory/2026-09-02/#SECURITY-3870; confirm the specific patched release version in the Jenkins Update Center before deploying, as the exact fixed version number is not stated in the available advisory data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
