Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from missing permission checks in the configuration export endpoint. The Jenkins security advisory explicitly identifies ConfigurationAsCode.java
as the vulnerable component and describes the lack of authorization in the export
method. The doExport
method (or equivalent entry point for the export URL) would be the direct handler for this functionality. The fix in 0.8-alpha would have added a permission check like Jenkins.ADMINISTER
or similar, but prior versions would execute this method with only Overall/Read access. This matches the CWE-200 pattern of unauthorized data exposure through missing access controls.
