CVE-2022-36914: 
Java vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2022-36914 is a security vulnerability identified in the Files Found Trigger Plugin for Jenkins, affecting versions 1.5 and earlier. The vulnerability was disclosed on July 27, 2022, as part of a larger Jenkins security advisory. This vulnerability is categorized with a Medium severity CVSS score (Jenkins Advisory).

The vulnerability stems from a missing permission check in a method implementing form validation within the Files Found Trigger Plugin. The affected component is the form validation method, which fails to properly verify user permissions before allowing access to file system operations (Jenkins Advisory).

The vulnerability allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to check for the existence of attacker-specified file paths on the Jenkins controller file system. Through a sequence of requests, attackers can effectively enumerate and list the entire Jenkins controller file system (Jenkins Advisory).

The vulnerability can be exploited by attackers who have Overall/Read permission in the Jenkins system. The attack requires the ability to make requests to the form validation endpoint, and through sequential requests, an attacker can systematically map the Jenkins controller file system (Jenkins Advisory).

As of the advisory's publication date, no official fix was available for this vulnerability. The Jenkins security team has acknowledged the issue but has not released a patched version of the Files Found Trigger Plugin (Jenkins Advisory).
