Doc Text:	An incorrect permissions validation vulnerability was found in Jenkins. An agent process read/write access to the libs/ directory inside build directories when using the FilePath APIs is not limited. This allows attackers in control of agent processes to replace the code of a trusted library with a modified variant, resulting in unsandboxed code execution in the Jenkins controller process.

Description Michael Kaplan 2021-11-04 16:03:28 UTC

Jenkins 2.318 and earlier, LTS 2.303.2 and earlier does not limit agent read/write access to the libs/ directory inside build directories when using the FilePath APIs. This directory is used by the Pipeline: Shared Groovy Libraries Plugin to store copies of shared libraries.
