Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in verschiedenen Jenkins Plugins ausnutzen, um einen Cross-Site-Scripting-Angriff-durchzuführen, Dateien zu manipulieren, Informationen offenzulegen, Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen oder einen Cross-Site-Request-Forgery-Angriff durchzuführen.
GHSA-6987-xccv-fhjpJenkins Pipeline Utility Steps Plugin arbitrary file write vulnerability2023-05-16ghsa · osvUS
Jenkins Pipeline Utility Steps Plugin provides the `untar` and `unzip` Pipeline steps to extract archives into job workspaces. Pipeline Utility Steps Plugin 2.15.2 and earlier does not validate or limit file paths of files contained within these archives. This allows attackers able to provide crafted archives as parameters to create or replace arbitrary files on the agent file system with attacker-specified content. Pipeline Utility Steps Plugin 2.15.3 rejects extraction of files in `tar` and `zip` archives that would be placed outside the expected destination directory.
