Jenkins 2.56 and earlier, and Jenkins LTS 2.46.1 and earlier, contain an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the CLI subsystem. The flaw arises because the Jenkins CLI accepted a serialized Java SignedObject that was deserialized via a new ObjectInputStream, allowing attackers to bypass the product’s existing blacklist-based deserialization protections. By sending a crafted serialized object to the Jenkins CLI endpoint, a remote attacker could trigger deserialization of untrusted data and achieve arbitrary code execution on the Jenkins server without authentication.

SignedObject to the deserialization blacklist, backporting the newer HTTP CLI protocol from Jenkins 2.54 to LTS 2.46.2, and deprecating the remoting-based Java-serialization CLI protocol, which is disabled by default in the fixed line. Fixed releases include Jenkins 2.57 and Jenkins LTS 2.46.2 or later.1 valid exploit after Mallory filtered fakes, detection scripts, and README-only repos (2 hidden).
This repository is a proof-of-concept exploit for Jenkins CVE-2017-1000353, a Java deserialization vulnerability in the Jenkins CLI endpoint. The exploit consists of a Python script (exploit.py) that sends a malicious serialized Java object (generated by Payload.java) to the Jenkins /cli endpoint. The Java payload is crafted to execute arbitrary system commands on the Jenkins server when deserialized. The README provides detailed usage instructions, including payload generation and exploitation steps. The exploit requires a vulnerable Jenkins instance and a compatible Java version (tested with openjdk:8u292). The main attack vector is network-based, targeting the Jenkins HTTP interface. The exploit demonstrates successful code execution by creating a file at /tmp/success on the target system. The repository includes Python and Java code, as well as build configuration files for the Java payload.
