Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

Jenkins Visual Studio Code Metrics Plugin 1.7 and earlier does not configure its XML parser to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks. This allows attackers able to control VS Code Metrics File contents to have Jenkins parse a crafted XML document that uses external entities for extraction of secrets from the Jenkins controller or server-side request forgery.
