Incorrect permission checks in Qualys Web App Scanning Connector Plugin allow capturing credentials
Qualys Web App Scanning Connector Plugin 2.0.10 and earlier does not correctly perform permission checks in several HTTP endpoints.
This allows attackers with global Item/Configure permission to connect to an attacker-specified URL using attacker-specified credentials IDs obtained through another method, capturing credentials stored in Jenkins.
Qualys Web App Scanning Connector Plugin 2.0.11 requires the appropriate permissions for the affected HTTP endpoints.
