An XML external entity processing vulnerability exists in Jenkins Job Import Plugin 2.1 and earlier in src/main/java/org/jenkins/ci/plugins/jobimport/client/RestApiClient.java that allows attackers with the ability to control the HTTP server (Jenkins) queried in preparation of job import to read arbitrary files, perform a denial of service attack, etc.
Weakness
The product processes an XML document that can contain XML entities with URIs that resolve to documents outside of the intended sphere of control, causing the product to embed incorrect documents into its output.
