jenkins: Non-constant time comparison of API token (SECURITY-241)
Published Apr 7, 2016
5.3
MEDIUMCVSS 3.0
EPSS 2.10%
Description
Jenkins before 1.650 and LTS before 1.642.2 do not use a constant-time algorithm to verify API tokens, which makes it easier for remote attackers to determine API tokens via a brute-force approach.
