What is CVE-2020-2286?

The Role-based Authorization Strategy Plugin for Jenkins versions 3.0 and earlier suffers from a flaw that prevents proper invalidation of the permission cache when the configuration changes. This results in outdated configuration persisting and potentially granting improper permissions to users. Consequently, users may have access rights that should have been revoked, exposing the system to unauthorized access risks.

Affected Version(s)

Jenkins Role-based Authorization Strategy Plugin 2.12

Jenkins Role-based Authorization Strategy Plugin <= 3.0
