Controller code execution via unvalidated LDAP referrals
Published May 27, 2026 · Updated May 27, 2026
SSRF in Jenkins LDAP Plugin 807.v7d7de30930cf and earlier allows attackers to reach attacker-controlled RMI services via LDAP referrals. The plugin follows referral URLs returned by the configured LDAP server, allowing an RMI endpoint to supply attacker-controlled serialized data to Jenkins. Code execution on the controller requires control of that LDAP server or a machine-in-the-middle position and suitable deserialization gadgets on the classpath.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
