Summary
Agent-to-controller security bypass in Jenkins Semantic Versioning Plugin
Details

Jenkins Semantic Versioning Plugin defines a controller/agent message that processes a given file as XML and returns version information. The XML parser is not configured to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks, which is only a problem if XML documents are parsed on the Jenkins controller.

Jenkins Semantic Versioning Plugin 1.13 and earlier does not restrict execution of a controller/agent message to agents, and implements no limitations about the file path that can be parsed, allowing attackers able to control agent processes to have Jenkins parse a crafted file that uses external entities for extraction of secrets from the Jenkins controller or server-side request forgery.

This vulnerability is only exploitable in Jenkins 2.318 and earlier, LTS 2.303.2 and earlier. See the LTS upgrade guide.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-12 18:23 – Updated: 2026-06-12 18:23
VLAI
Summary
GeoServer has a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) Vulnerability in its XML Entity Resolution
Details

Summary

A GeoServer that uses ENTITY_RESOLUTION_ALLOWLIST may allow attacker to perform unauthenticated Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF).

Details

This vulnerability requires that GeoServer is set up to use a proxy base URL and the ENTITY_RESOLUTION_ALLOWLIST (default since 2.25.0):

Impact

This vulnerability allows an attacker to cause GeoServer to make requests to an unintended location.

Workaround

GeoServer installations are only affected by this vulnerability if they use a proxy base URL that does not contain a URL path or end with a slash (e.g., https://somesite.org instead of https://somesite.org/ or https://somesite.org/geoserver). If the proxy base URL does not contain a path, adding a slash to the end of the URL will mitigate this vulnerability.

Mitigation
Implementation System Configuration

Many XML parsers and validators can be configured to disable external entity expansion.

CAPEC-221: Data Serialization External Entities Blowup

This attack takes advantage of the entity replacement property of certain data serialization languages (e.g., XML, YAML, etc.) where the value of the replacement is a URI. A well-crafted file could have the entity refer to a URI that consumes a large amount of resources to create a denial of service condition. This can cause the system to either freeze, crash, or execute arbitrary code depending on the URI.
