CVE-2026-117614: Jenkins agent launch command approval bypass

CVE-2026-117614 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-28

Jenkins is an open-source automation server widely used for continuous integration and deployment. This vulnerability allows attackers with agent configuration permissions to bypass administrator approval checks and execute arbitrary code on the Jenkins controller, the central machine that orchestrates build jobs. An attacker could gain full control over the Jenkins infrastructure and any systems it deploys to.

How to fix

Technical details

For backward compatibility, Jenkins 2.587 and earlier converts launch commands from older agent configurations into Command Agent Launcher Plugin launchers without verifying administrator approval. An attacker with Agent/Configure permission can exploit this to execute arbitrary code in the Jenkins controller JVM context. The fix in Jenkins 2.588 and LTS 2.580.2 removes this automatic conversion entirely, eliminating the bypass vector.

Affected products

Jenkins Jenkins 2.587 and earlier, LTS 2.580.1 and earlier
