Critical Insecure deserialization

CVE-2026-70426 — Deserialization of Untrusted Data in Jenkins Project Jenkins

In Remoting 3384.v60d89463d9e0 and earlier, except 3355.3357.v931d3c992987, included in Jenkins 2.575 and earlier, LTS 2.568.1 and earlier, the JEP-200 class filter is not applied to classes resolved via a fallback path in the Remoting deserialization implementation, allowing agent processes, code running on agents, and attackers with Agent/Connect permission to bypass the JEP-200 deserialization filter for classes on the Jenkins core classpath.

Low

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.

How the score was calculated

Technical severity (critical)+10

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Exploitation

Not confirmed

Not in CISA KEV — an absence of record, not proof it is unexploited.

EPSS FIRST

No EPSS score.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Jenkins Project Jenkins, Jenkins Project Remoting).
The attack is network-based and needs no privileges: restrict exposure (ACLs, VPN, WAF) until patched.
No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (insecure deserialization), errors and authentication anomalies.
