CVE-2017-1000090: Jenkins Role-Based Authorization Strategy

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 0.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Role-based Authorization Strategy Plugin was not requiring requests to its API be sent via POST, thereby opening itself to Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. This allowed attackers to add administrator role to any user, or to remove the authorization configuration, preventing legitimate access to Jenkins.

Affected products
