Summary

In Jenkins 2.579 and earlier, LTS 2.568.2 and earlier, the REST API and CLI endpoints for updating agent configuration do not prevent a submitted configuration from overwriting a different agent by specifying that agent's name in the submitted XML document. This allows attackers with Agent/Configure permission on one agent to take over a different agent, gaining control of its configuration and obtaining access to its inbound agent secret and environment variables.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can take over another agent, potentially stealing secrets, environment variables, and enabling further attacks on the infrastructure.

Recommendation

Update Jenkins to a version newer than 2.579 or LTS newer than 2.568.2 as soon as a fix is available.
