CVE-2021-21615 is a time-of-check to time-of-use race condition in Jenkins file-browser handling for workspaces and archived artifacts. Jenkins versions 2.275 and LTS 2.263.2 can follow symbolic links outside the intended restricted directory after validating a path. A privileged user who controls workspace contents can use this behavior to traverse the filesystem and read files accessible to the Jenkins process.
