Jenkins User Interface (UI) contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows users to see the names of jobs and builds otherwise inaccessible to them on the "Fingerprints" pages.
From the CISA KEV catalogue version 2026.11.06, with Cybergen analysis. Updated 6 Nov 2026.
Should You Worry?
- CISA confirmed exploitation in the wild and added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue on 12 May 2023.
- Rated High severity (CVSS 7.5, scored by CISA).
- This product type is often exposed to the internet, which is where attackers scan for it first.
- It has been in the catalogue for 1,274 days. Systems still unpatched now have almost certainly been scanned for it.
What It Is
The Fingerprints pages in Jenkins before 1.638 and LTS before 1.625.2 might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive job and build name information via a direct request.
