Hi all,

I understand that if a Jenkins master is compromised, then slaves are 
compromised. But I did not think that the reverse was true. However, I 
stumbled upon information on this page about Jenkins 
security<https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Securing+Jenkins> where 
following is mentioned:

*"Also, slaves that are connected to Jenkins gain the full access to the 
entire Jenkins build cluster, since a slave can send code to the master to 
be executed."*

Is this really true? Does it also hold for all types of master-slave 
connections (JNLP, SSH etc)? If that is the case it would mean that once a 
slave has been compromised, the whole cluster (including the master) is 
also compromised?

Please help me understand this.
