CVE-2023-43501
A missing permission check in Jenkins Build Failure Analyzer Plugin 2.4.1 and earlier allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified hostname and port using attacker-specified username and password.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.61%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
