CVE-2015-7539
The Plugins Manager in Jenkins before 1.640 and LTS before 1.625.2 does not verify checksums for plugin files referenced in update site data, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted plugin.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.40%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
