Jenkins Jira Plugin vulnerable to exposure of system-scoped credentials
Jenkins Jira Plugin 3.11 and earlier does not set the appropriate context for credentials lookup, allowing the use of system-scoped credentials otherwise reserved for the global configuration.
This allows attackers with Item/Configure permission to access and capture credentials they are not entitled to.
Jira Plugin 3.12 defines the appropriate context for credentials lookup.
