CVE-2026-57282: Vulnerability in Jenkins Project Jenkins Git client Plugin
Jenkins Git client Plugin 6.6.0 and earlier does not correctly escape the workspace directory name when it is embedded into a generated SSH wrapper script, allowing attackers able to control the name of a build's working directory to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the agent.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Jenkins Git client Plugin versions 6.6.0 and earlier improperly escape the workspace directory name when embedding it into an SSH wrapper script. This improper escaping enables an attacker with control over the build's working directory name to inject and execute arbitrary OS commands on the agent running the build.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with the ability to influence the build workspace directory name to execute arbitrary commands on the Jenkins agent, potentially leading to unauthorized code execution and compromise of the agent environment.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, avoid allowing untrusted users to control the build workspace directory name or restrict build configurations to trusted inputs only.
