A critical command injection vulnerability (CVE-2025-53652) in the Jenkins Git Parameter plugin has been exposed by VulnCheck. Initially rated as medium, the flaw allows remote code execution (RCE), enabling hackers to take control of unauthenticated Jenkins servers. Around 15,000 servers are at risk due to disabled security settings. The vulnerability permits attackers to inject malicious commands, potentially accessing sensitive data like master keys. Despite a patch being released, administrators can manually disable it, leaving systems exposed. VulnCheck warns that while widespread exploitation is unlikely, skilled attackers may use it for targeted attacks or deeper network infiltration.
