How to fix?

Upgrade org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core to versions 2.73.2, 2.84 or higher.

Overview

org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core is an open-source automation server.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Shell Command Execution. 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.
