Agent-to-controller access control allows reading/writing most content of build directories
CVE: CVE-2021-21697
Component: jenkins
CWE: CWE-22
Severity: Important
CVSS v3: 9.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Release date: 2021-11-04T14:20:00+00:00

An incorrect access restriction vulnerability was found in Jenkins. The directories agents are allowed to access include the directories where there are stored build-related information intended to allow agents to store build-related metadata during build execution. As a consequence, this allows an attacker who controls agent process to read and write the contents of any build directory stored in Jenkins with very few restrictions (build.xml and some Pipeline-related metadata).
