CVE-2026-48918: Vulnerability in Jenkins Project Jenkins Active Directory Plugin
Jenkins Active Directory Plugin 2.41 and earlier follows LDAP referrals by default.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Jenkins Active Directory Plugin up to version 2.41 follows LDAP referrals by default, which may expose the plugin to risks related to LDAP referral handling. LDAP referrals occur when an LDAP server directs a client to another LDAP server for requested information. Following these referrals without restrictions can lead to security concerns such as unauthorized data access or authentication bypasses depending on the LDAP infrastructure. No official remediation or patch information is currently available.
Potential Impact
The impact is related to the default behavior of following LDAP referrals, which could potentially allow an attacker to exploit LDAP referral handling to gain unauthorized access or information disclosure. However, no specific exploitation details or confirmed impacts are provided in the available data.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix or guidance is provided by the Jenkins Project, users should consider reviewing their LDAP referral handling policies and configurations to minimize risk.
