high Nessus Plugin ID 332685

Synopsis

An application running on a remote web server host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

According to its its self-reported version number, the version of Jenkins running on the remote web server is Jenkins LTS prior to 2.568.2 or Jenkins weekly prior to 2.576. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - Jenkins 2.575 and earlier, LTS 2.568.1 and earlier handles case-insensitivity in user names and...
 (CVE-2026-70429)

 - Jenkins 2.575 and earlier, LTS 2.568.1 and earlier does not restrict the types of objects that...
 (CVE-2026-70430)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade Jenkins weekly to version 2.576 or later, or Jenkins LTS to version 2.568.2 or later.
