"According to its self-reported version number, the version of Jenkins plugins running on the remote web server is
affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
- Jenkins LoadNinja Plugin 2.1 and earlier stores LoadNinja API keys unencrypted in job config.xml files on
the Jenkins controller where they can be viewed by users with Item/Extended Read permission or access to
the Jenkins controller file system. (CVE-2026-33003)
- Jenkins 2.554 and earlier, LTS 2.541.2 and earlier does not safely handle symbolic links during the
extraction of .tar and .tar.gz archives, allowing crafted archives to write files to arbitrary locations
on the filesystem, restricted only by file system access permissions of the user running Jenkins. This can
be exploited to deploy malicious scripts or plugins on the controller by attackers with Item/Configure
permission, or able to control agent processes. (CVE-2026-33001)
- Jenkins LoadNinja Plugin 2.1 and earlier does not mask LoadNinja API keys displayed on the job
configuration form, increasing the potential for attackers to observe and capture them. (CVE-2026-33004)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
