CVE-2017-1000393
Jenkins 2.73.1 and earlier, 2.83 and earlier users with permission to create or configure agents in Jenkins could configure a launch method called 'Launch agent via execution of command on master'.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.56%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Jenkins 2.73.1 and earlier, 2.83 and earlier users with permission to create or configure agents in Jenkins could configure a launch method called 'Launch agent via execution of command on master'. This allowed them to run arbitrary shell commands on the master node whenever the agent was supposed to be launched. Configuration of this launch method now requires the Run Scripts permission typically only granted to administrators.
