Official description
Jenkins Script Security Plugin 1415.v9a_f9b_3a_c253d and earlier does not reject @Builder annotations whose builderStrategy member names an arbitrary class, allowing attackers with permission to define and run sandboxed scripts, including Pipelines, to execute code outside the sandbox if a suitable class is present on the classpath of the component that evaluates the script.

The underlying weakness: Use of Externally-Controlled Input to Select Classes or Code
The product uses external input with reflection to select which classes or code to use, but it does not sufficiently prevent the input from selecting improper classes or code.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Refactor your code to avoid using reflection.
- Do not use user-controlled inputs to select and load classes or code.
- Apply strict input validation by using allowlists or indirect selection to ensure that the user is only selecting allowable classes or code.
