CVE-2015-7539

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The Plugins Manager in Jenkins before 1.640 and LTS before 1.625.2 does not verify checksums for plugin files referenced in update site data, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted plugin.

Risk Assessment

The lack of checksum verification poses a risk that malicious plugins may be installed, potentially leading to control over the Jenkins system.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update Jenkins to the latest version to ensure checksum verification for plugin files and minimize the risk of attacks.
