CVE-2026-57296 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Jenkins External Workspace Manager Plugin 1.3.2 and earlier does not reject path traversal sequences in the custom workspace path provided to the exwsAllocate Pipeline step, allowing attackers with Item/Configure permission to read arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller file system, which can lead to remote code execution.. EPSS estimates a 0.60% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
