MediumCVSS 6.5 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 27/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.7% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 78.6% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: org.jenkins-ci.plugins.workflow:workflow-multibranch (Maven) 2.26.1, 696.698.v9b4218eea50f, 707.v71c3f0a; jenkins (Red Hat:openshift:3.11::el7) 0:2.319.3.1650348949-1.el7; jenkins-2-plugins (Red Hat:openshift:3.11::el7) 0:3.11.1650371376-1.el7.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to org.jenkins-ci.plugins.workflow:workflow-multibranch (Maven) 2.26.1, 696.698.v9b4218eea50f, 707.v71c3f0a; jenkins (Red Hat:openshift:3.11::el7) 0:2.319.3.1650348949-1.el7; jenkins-2-plugins (Red Hat:openshift:3.11::el7) 0:3.11.1650371376-1.el7 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Jenkins Pipeline: Multibranch Plugin 706.vd43c65dec013 and earlier follows symbolic links to locations outside of the checkout directory for the configured SCM when reading files using the readTrusted step, allowing attackers able to configure Pipelines permission to read arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller file system.
