First published: Fri Dec 28 2012(Updated: )

Jenkins Security Advisory 2012-11-20 The second vulnerability is so-called open redirect vulnerability. This allows an anonymous attacker to create an URL that looks as if it's pointing to Jenkins, yet it actually lands on the site that the attacker controls. This can be therefore used as a basis for phishing. Fix: Main line users should upgrade to Jenkins 1.491 LTS users should upgrade to 1.480.1 External URLs: <a href="https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/SECURITY/Jenkins+Security+Advisory+2012-11-20">https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/SECURITY/Jenkins+Security+Advisory+2012-11-20</a> <a href="http://www.cloudbees.com/jenkins-advisory/jenkins-security-advisory-2012-11-20.cb">http://www.cloudbees.com/jenkins-advisory/jenkins-security-advisory-2012-11-20.cb</a>
