Jenkins Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

CVE-2017-1000353

What this means

This is rated critical severity (9.8 out of 10). It is on the known-exploited catalogue, which means attacks using it have already been seen. Ask IT whether Jenkins Jenkins and Oracle Communications Cloud Native Core Automated Test Suite are in your estate, and treat that as the priority.

Full vendor description

Jenkins versions 2.56 and earlier as well as 2.46.1 LTS and earlier are vulnerable to an unauthenticated remote code execution. An unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability allowed attackers to transfer a serialized Java `SignedObject` object to the Jenkins CLI, that would be deserialized using a new `ObjectInputStream`, bypassing the existing blacklist-based protection mechanism. We're fixing this issue by adding `SignedObject` to the blacklist. We're also backporting the new HTTP CLI protocol from Jenkins 2.54 to LTS 2.46.2, and deprecating the remoting-based (i.e. Java serialization) CLI protocol, disabling it by default.
