CVE-2026-33001 affects Jenkins 2.554 and earlier and Jenkins LTS 2.541.2 and earlier. Jenkins does not safely handle symbolic links during extraction of .tar and .tar.gz archives, allowing a crafted archive to cause files to be written to arbitrary filesystem locations, constrained only by the permissions of the user account running Jenkins. The vulnerable extraction path is used on the Jenkins controller by features including the "Archive the artifacts" post-build action and the standard artifact manager-backed archiveArtifacts and archive Pipeline steps. An attacker with Item/Configure permission, or an attacker able to control agent processes, can supply a malicious archive containing symlink entries and leverage the flaw to place files outside the intended extraction directory, including into sensitive Jenkins controller paths such as JENKINS_HOME/init.groovy.d/ or JENKINS_HOME/plugins/. This can be used to achieve code execution on the controller.
