CWE-611Published: January 26, 2023· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

9.8

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Jenkins Semantic Versioning Plugin 1.14 and earlier does not restrict execution of an controller/agent message to agents, and implements no limitations about the file path that can be parsed, allowing attackers able to control agent processes to have Jenkins parse a crafted file that uses external entities for extraction of secrets from the Jenkins controller or server-side request forgery.

NVD Source

Risk Analysis

The Jenkins Semantic Versioning Plugin fails to restrict agent-to-controller messages and lacks input validation, allowing attackers to exploit XXE or perform server-side request forgery. This critical vulnerability can lead to the theft of sensitive secrets from the Jenkins controller. It carries a 9.8 CVSS score.

There is no public exploit known, and it is not in the CISA KEV. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable.

Recommended Action

Upgrade the Jenkins Semantic Versioning Plugin to a version later than 1.14 to implement necessary access controls and input validation.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2023-24429 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
