CVE-2017-1000391
Jenkins versions 2.88 and earlier and 2.73.2 and earlier stores metadata related to 'people', which encompasses actual user accounts, as well as users appearing in SCM, in directories corresponding to the user ID on disk.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.50%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Jenkins versions 2.88 and earlier and 2.73.2 and earlier stores metadata related to 'people', which encompasses actual user accounts, as well as users appearing in SCM, in directories corresponding to the user ID on disk. These directories used the user ID for their name without additional escaping, potentially resulting in problems like overwriting of unrelated configuration files.
