NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jenkins-2-plugins package and not the jenkins-2-plugins package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Jenkins 2.318 and earlier, LTS 2.303.2 and earlier does not limit agent read/write access to the libs/ directory inside build directories when using the FilePath APIs, allowing attackers in control of agent processes to replace the code of a trusted library with a modified variant. This results in unsandboxed code execution in the Jenkins controller process.
