CVE-2016-3725
Jenkins before 2.3 and LTS before 1.651.2 allows remote authenticated users to trigger updating of update site metadata by leveraging a missing permissions check.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.39%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Jenkins before 2.3 and LTS before 1.651.2 allows remote authenticated users to trigger updating of update site metadata by leveraging a missing permissions check. NOTE: this issue can be combined with DNS cache poisoning to cause a denial of service (service disruption).
