  • Disclosed: 22.01.2025
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 12:21

Jenkins Folder-based Authorization Strategy Plugin 217.vd5b_18537403e and earlier does not verify that permissions configured to be granted are enabled, potentially allowing users formerly granted (typically optional permissions, like Overall/Manage) to access functionality they're no longer entitled to.
