CVE-2026-92137 Jenkins Project CVE debrief

Who should care

Jenkins administrators, security teams, and developers using the Robot Framework Plugin should assess exposure and apply patches or updates. This vulnerability affects Jenkins Robot Framework Plugin 6.2.2 and earlier, and defenders should verify archive directory configurations and monitor Jenkins controller file system for suspicious activity. Security teams should prioritize patching and verify compensating controls for exposed systems.

Why it matters

CVE-2026-92137 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Jenkins Robot Framework Plugin that allows attackers to create or replace arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller file system, potentially leading to remote code execution. Defenders should assess exposure, verify archive directory configurations, and apply patches or updates to mitigate the vulnerability.

• Potential for remote code execution on the Jenkins controller
• Arbitrary file creation and replacement on the Jenkins controller file system
• Elevation of privileges for attackers with Item/Configure permission

Technical summary

The Jenkins Robot Framework Plugin 6.2.2 and earlier does not properly validate the archive directory for Robot Framework report files, allowing attackers with Item/Configure permission to create or replace arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller file system. This vulnerability can lead to remote code execution and elevation of privileges. Defenders should assess exposure and apply patches or updates to mitigate the vulnerability. The vulnerability is a result of insufficient validation of the archive directory, which allows attackers to create or replace arbitrary files on the Jenkins controller file system.

Defensive priority

High priority for Jenkins administrators and security teams to assess exposure and apply patches.

Recommended defensive actions

• Assess exposure of Jenkins Robot Framework Plugin versions 6.2.2 and earlier
• Verify archive directory configuration for Robot Framework report files
• Apply patches or updates provided by the vendor
• Monitor Jenkins controller file system for suspicious activity
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
