Jenkins Security Advisory reports:

This advisory announces a security vulnerability that was found in Jenkins core.

An attacker can then use this master cryptographic key to mount remote code execution attack against the Jenkins master, or impersonate arbitrary users in making REST API calls.

There are several factors that mitigate some of these problems that may apply to specific installations.
