Server-side request forgery via unvalidated LDAP referrals
Published May 27, 2026 · Updated May 27, 2026
SSRF in Jenkins Active Directory Plugin 2.41 and earlier allows remote attackers to reach attacker-controlled RMI services via LDAP referrals. The LDAP client follows referral URLs returned by the configured directory server without restricting their destination or protocol. Remote attackers must control that server or intercept its traffic; code execution also requires deserialization gadgets on the controller 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.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
