CVE-2022-25177Network attack vector

Authenticated file read via libraryResource symlinks

Published Feb 15, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Arbitrary file read in Jenkins Pipeline: Groovy Libraries 552.vd9cc05b8a2e1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read controller files. The libraryResource step follows resource symlinks without verifying that the resolved path remains inside the expected Pipeline library. Item/Configure permission and the ability to configure a Pipeline are required; successful exploitation discloses arbitrary controller files.
