DescriptionCVE.org

Jenkins ThinBackup Plugin 2.1.4 and earlier allows overwriting the plugin's backup configuration through Stapler data binding, allowing attackers to redirect backup writes to an attacker-specified directory and to include arbitrary files from the Jenkins controller file system in backups.

AnalysisAI

Path traversal via Stapler data binding in Jenkins ThinBackup Plugin 2.1.4 and earlier allows authenticated low-privileged attackers to overwrite the plugin's backup configuration, redirecting backup output to an attacker-specified directory and injecting arbitrary Jenkins controller filesystem files into backup archives. The primary risk is exfiltration of high-value Jenkins controller secrets - credentials.xml, SSH keys, API tokens, master.key - via the backup mechanism. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated Jenkins user account - at minimum a user with the ability to submit HTTP POST requests to the Jenkins web UI (Overall/Read plus plugin endpoint access). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 7.1 score with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N is well-calibrated: PR:L correctly reflects the requirement for an active authenticated Jenkins session, meaningfully narrowing the attack surface compared to unauthenticated issues. … 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 The primary fix is to upgrade the Jenkins ThinBackup Plugin to the version specified in the Jenkins security advisory at https://www.jenkins.io/security/advisory/2026-09-02/#SECURITY-4099 - the exact remediated release version is not stated in the available input data and should be confirmed from that advisory before upgrading. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, audit all Jenkins deployments to identify ThinBackup Plugin 2.1.4 or earlier and map which low-level users can access the plugin. …
