CVE-2026-70430: Vulnerability in Jenkins Project Jenkins
A vulnerability in Jenkins versions 2.575 and earlier, including LTS 2.568.1 and earlier, allows attackers with Overall/Manage permission to instantiate arbitrary object types in the project naming strategy configuration. This can lead to unauthorized configuration changes intended only for administrators. The vulnerability has a low severity score and does not impact confidentiality or availability.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-70430 affects Jenkins versions up to 2.575 and LTS up to 2.568.1. The flaw arises because Jenkins does not restrict the types of objects that can be instantiated within the project naming strategy configuration. Attackers with Overall/Manage permission can exploit this to instantiate arbitrary types related to configuration, including those meant only for administrative configuration. The CVSS score is 2.7 (low severity), indicating limited impact primarily on integrity without affecting confidentiality or availability. There is no vendor advisory or patch information available at this time.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows users with Overall/Manage permission to perform unauthorized configuration changes by instantiating arbitrary object types. This could lead to integrity issues in the Jenkins configuration. There is no indication of impact on confidentiality or availability. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict Overall/Manage permissions to trusted users only to reduce risk.
