## What it is
A collection of notes, scripts, and references for attacking and pentesting Jenkins CI/CD servers, covering known CVEs like arbitrary file read and deserialization RCE. It includes Python exploit scripts and command-line examples using jenkins-cli and ysoserial.

## Use cases
- test a jenkins server for cve-2024-23897 arbitrary file read
- exploit deserialization rce on an old jenkins instance
- check if jenkins authentication can be bypassed
- find scripts to get rce on jenkins during a pentest
- learn about known jenkins vulnerabilities and exploits
- bruteforce the jenkins credential encryption key

## When to choose
- you are doing an authorized penetration test against a Jenkins server
- you want a curated reference of Jenkins CVEs with working exploit commands
- you need ready-made Python exploit scripts for Jenkins vulnerabilities

## When to avoid
- you need a hardened Jenkins security scanner for production use
- you want defensive hardening guidance rather than attack tooling
- you need a maintained tool with a license and formal releases
