CVE-2023-24422

Controller code execution via uninspected map assignments

Published Jan 24, 2023 · Updated Apr 2, 2025

Sandbox bypass in Jenkins Script Security Plugin 1228.vd93135a_2fb_25 and earlier allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in the controller JVM. Groovy map constructors implicitly assign properties, but the sandbox fails to intercept and check those assignments against its allowlists. The attack requires permission to define and run sandboxed scripts, and successful exploitation compromises the controller process.
