CVE-2026-117618
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-vrqw-5jr7-wx5r ↗EUVD-2026-112183 ↗
description
Jenkins 2.587 and earlier, including LTS 2.580.1 and earlier, mishandles the initial-account creation flow. An unauthenticated attacker may obtain an administrator account if they can access that flow while the initial user account is being replaced.
mitigation
Restrict network access to Jenkins' setup and initial-account creation interfaces, and perform initial-user replacement only from a trusted administrative network. Limit exposure until vendor upgrade guidance or a fixed release is available.
outcome
Check only, differential: the check fires on the vulnerable build and is silent on the patched one.
source signals
Public signals that triggered or updated the pipeline. These are inputs for the deltas above.
