Root Cause Analysis
The commit diff shows the vulnerability was fixed by adding 'Jenkins.get().checkPermission(Jenkins.ADMINISTER)'
to the doConfigure
method. Prior to this, the method used @RequirePOST
(later changed to @POST
) but had no authorization check. This matches the CWE-862
(Missing Authorization) description and the advisory's statement about missing permission checks in form submission endpoints.
