GitHub AdvisoriesGHSA-55q6-r3hm-7ff4
Jenkins Build Failure Analyzer Plugin missing permission check
Jenkins Build Failure Analyzer Plugin 2.4.1 and earlier does not perform a permission check in a connection test HTTP endpoint.
This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified hostname and port using attacker-specified username and password.
Additionally, this HTTP endpoint does not require POST requests, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.
Build Failure Analyzer Plugin 2.4.2 requires POST requests and Overall/Administer permission for the affected HTTP endpoint.
