Jenkins NUnit Plugin vulnerable to Protection Mechanism Failure
Jenkins NUnit Plugin 0.27 and earlier implements an agent-to-controller message that parses files inside a user-specified directory as test results, allowing attackers able to control agent processes to obtain test results from files in an attacker-specified directory on the Jenkins controller. NUnit Plugin 0.28 changes the message type from agent-to-controller to controller-to-agent, preventing execution on the controller.
