The Jenkins Sidebar Link Plugin, version 2.2.1 and earlier, contains a path traversal flaw in a form validation method that fails to restrict the paths of files it handles. An attacker with Overall/Read permission on the Jenkins controller can exploit this over the network with low complexity and no user interaction, using it to check whether an arbitrary attacker-specified file path exists on the controller's file system.
