The vulnerability arises from the deserialization of untrusted data via the Jenkins CLI's remoting protocol. The provided commit diff shows that SignedObject was added to the deserialization blacklist in Jenkins.java, indicating it was previously missing. The exploit (CVE-2017-1000353) involves sending a serialized SignedObject, which triggers code execution during deserialization. The core issue is the absence of SignedObject in the blacklist, allowing ObjectInputStream.readObject to deserialize it. While the exact function names in the CLI handling code are not explicitly provided, the use of ObjectInputStream in the deserialization pathway (common in Java remoting) and the blacklist update confirm this entry point as the vulnerable component.
