Jenkins Improper Link Resolution Before File Access (Link Following) Vulnerability - CVE-2026-33001
Jenkins 2.554 and earlier LTS 2.541.2 and earlier does not safely handle symbolic links during the extraction of .tar and .tar.gz archives allowing crafted archives to write files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem restricted only by file system access permissions of the user running Jenkins. This can be exploited to deploy malicious scripts or plugins on the controller by attackers with Item/Configure permission or able to control agent processes.
