Controller command execution via attacker-selected git path

Published Jan 12, 2022 · Updated Nov 19, 2024

Agent-to-controller bypass in Jenkins Debian Package Builder Plugin 1.6.11 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute OS commands. Plugin remoting functionality lets a controlled agent choose the controller-side path used to invoke the command-line git executable. Control of an agent process is required, after which commands execute with the Jenkins controller process's permissions.
