CVE-2019-16554
A missing permission check in Jenkins Build Failure Analyzer Plugin 1.24.1 and earlier allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to have Jenkins evaluate a computationally expensive regular expression.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.82%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
