Jenkins 2.554 and earlier, LTS 2.541.2 and earlier does not safely handle symbolic links during the extraction of .tar and .tar.gz archives, allowing crafted archives to write files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem, restricted only by file system access permissions of the user running Jenkins.
This can be exploited to deploy malicious scripts or plugins on the controller by attackers with Item/Configure permission, or able to control agent processes.
Jenkins 2.550 and earlier, LTS 2.541.1 and earlier accepts Run Parameter values that refer to builds the user submitting the build does not have access to, allowing attackers with Item/Build and Item/Configure permission to obtain information about the existence of jobs, the existence of builds, and if a specified build exists, its display name.
A missing permission check in Jenkins 2.540 and earlier, LTS 2.528.2 and earlier allows attackers with View/Read permission to view encrypted password values in views.
Jenkins 2.540 and earlier, LTS 2.528.2 and earlier stores build authorization tokens unencrypted in job config.xml files on the Jenkins controller where they can be viewed by users with Item/Extended Read permission or access to the Jenkins controller file system.
Jenkins 2.540 and earlier, LTS 2.528.2 and earlier does not mask build authorization tokens displayed on the job configuration form, increasing the potential for attackers to observe and capture them.
A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Jenkins 2.540 and earlier, LTS 2.528.2 and earlier allows attackers to trick users into logging in to the attacker's account.
Jenkins 2.540 and earlier, LTS 2.528.2 and earlier does not properly close HTTP-based CLI connections when the connection stream becomes corrupted, allowing unauthenticated attackers to cause a denial of service.
Jenkins 2.527 and earlier, LTS 2.516.2 and earlier does not perform a permission check in the sidepanel of a page intentionally accessible to users lacking Overall/Read permission, allowing attackers without Overall/Read permission to list agent names through its sidepanel executors widget.
Jenkins 2.527 and earlier, LTS 2.516.2 and earlier does not perform a permission check for the authenticated user profile dropdown menu, allowing attackers without Overall/Read permission to obtain limited information about the Jenkins configuration by listing available options in this menu (e.g., whether Credentials Plugin is installed).
Jenkins 2.527 and earlier, LTS 2.516.2 and earlier does not restrict or transform the characters that can be inserted from user-specified content in log messages, allowing attackers able to control log message contents to insert line break characters, followed by forged log messages that may mislead administrators reviewing log output.
