Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stemmed from using hudson.remoting.Callable without proper security controls. The commit diff shows the class was changed to extend MasterToSlaveCallable which restricts execution to agents. The original implementation's checkRoles method didn't perform any validation, and the call() method exposed system properties. Together these allowed agent processes to execute controller-side operations. The CWE-693 (Protection Mechanism Failure) mapping confirms the security control bypass aspect.
