Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Jenkins Project Jenkins up to 2.567.x. It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown functionality of the component File Path Handler. The manipulation of the argument file with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Jenkins 2.575 and earlier, LTS 2.568.1 and earlier improperly identifies file paths attempting path traversal in file parameter names, allowing attackers with Item/Configure and Item/Build permission to write files to arbitrary locations on the controller file system.
