Jenkins OWASP ZAP Plugin: Builds executed on the Jenkins controller can lead to RCE

  • Disclosed: 24.06.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 13:20

Jenkins OWASP ZAP Plugin 1.0.7 and earlier does not support distributed builds, causing the file operations and build process of its "Automatically build ZAP" feature to be performed on the Jenkins controller rather than on the agent the build is assigned to.

This allows attackers with Item/Configure permission to configure the feature to build an attacker-controlled project, executing arbitrary code on the Jenkins controller and bypassing any restriction confining the build to a specific agent.

As of publication of this advisory, there is no fix.
