Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Jenkins core (org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core) versions from 1.626 before 1.638, and versions before 1.625.2, are affected by an XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability in the create-job CLI command. A remote attacker who supplies a crafted job configuration can read arbitrary files from the server when that configuration is later processed by an XML-aware tool, such as the get-job and update-job commands. Upgrade to version 1.638 or 1.625.2.
