Overview

CVE-2024-34146 affects the Jenkins Git server Plugin versions 114.v068a_c7cc2574 and earlier. The vulnerability was discovered by Daniel Beck from CloudBees, Inc. and was publicly disclosed on May 2, 2024. This security issue impacts the authentication mechanism of Git repositories accessed over SSH within the Jenkins environment (Jenkins Advisory).

Technical details
