CVE-2026-19429
Last modified
CVE-2026-19429 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.4/10 on the CVSS scale. Jenkins FilePath.untarFrom() does not validate symlink targets in extracted TAR archives, even in versions patched for CVE-2026-33001 and CVE-2026-70427. An authenticated attacker with job configuration privileges can include a malicious archive in a build step that creates workspace symlinks pointing to arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller.
Description
Jenkins FilePath.untarFrom() does not validate symlink targets in extracted TAR archives, even in versions patched for CVE-2026-33001 and CVE-2026-70427. An authenticated attacker with job configuration privileges can include a malicious archive in a build step that creates workspace symlinks pointing to arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller. By reading the secrets directory, the attacker obtains the cryptographic keys used to sign remember-me cookies, forges a valid administrator session cookie without any admin interaction, and gains access to the Script Console for remote code execution. Jenkins 2.576 is additionally affected by a bypass of the CVE-2026-70427 blank-name check via Unicode zero-width characters (U+200B, U+200C, U+200D, U+2060, U+00AD), which Java's String.isBlank() does not recognize as whitespace.
