CVE-2019-1003030: Jenkins Pipeline Groovy Plugin <=2.63 - Insecure Deserialization

id: CVE-2019-1003030

info:
  name: Jenkins Pipeline Groovy Plugin <=2.63 - Insecure Deserialization
  author: princechaddha
  severity: critical
  description: |
    Jenkins Pipeline: Groovy Plugin (workflow-cps) version 2.63 and earlier contains a sandbox bypass vulnerability in CpsGroovyShell.java. During parsing, compilation, and script instantiation of CPS-transformed pipeline scripts, sandbox protections are not applied, allowing authenticated users with Overall/Read permission to execute arbitrary code on the Jenkins controller JVM.
  impact: |
    Low-privilege authenticated users (requiring only Overall/Read) can bypass the Groovy sandbox and execute arbitrary OS commands on the Jenkins controller. This leads to full CI/CD pipeline compromise: credential theft, SSH key extraction, arbitrary node execution, and supply chain attacks via poisoned build artifacts.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade Pipeline: Groovy Plugin (workflow-cps) to version 2.64 or later. If upgrading is not immediately possible, restrict Overall/Read access to trusted users only, or disable Pipeline job creation for untrusted users.
