What is CVE-2017-1000104?

The Config File Provider Plugin in Jenkins is designed to manage configuration files containing sensitive information, including credentials. A vulnerability allowed users with limited permissions (Overall/Read) to access specific URLs, enabling them to view these sensitive files. To mitigate this issue, access restrictions have been implemented. Now, users must possess appropriate permissions to either configure the provided files, view the configuration folder, or have Job/Configure permissions tied to jobs that utilize these files. This enhancement significantly increases the security surrounding sensitive data management within Jenkins.
