Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The weakness exists due to lack of serialized object validation. A remote attacker can transfer a serialized Java SignedObject object to the remoting-based Jenkins CLI, deserialize it  using a new ObjectInputStream, bypass the existing blacklist-based protection mechanism, inject arbitrary commands and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.

Affected software

Jenkins
Oracle Communications Cloud Native Core Automated Test Suite
