Real-World Exposure

1 pkg affected

☕org.jenkins-ci.plugins:repository-connector

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Jenkins Repository Connector Plugin 2.2.0 and earlier does not perform a permission check in a method implementing form validation.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to check for the existence of an attacker-specified file path on the Jenkins controller file system. A sequence of requests can be used to effectively list the Jenkins controller file system.

As of publication of this advisory, there is no fix.
