Updated

Jenkins User Interface (UI) contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows users to see the names of jobs and builds otherwise inaccessible to them on the "Fingerprints" pages.

Other sources

The Fingerprints pages in Jenkins before 1.638 and LTS before 1.625.2 might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive job and build name information via a direct request.

GitHub

The following flaw was found in Jenkins:

The Jenkins UI allowed users to see the names of jobs and builds otherwise inaccessible to them on the "Fingerprints" pages if those shared file fingerprints with fingerprinted files in accessible jobs.

Users have no control over which information they see, and the kind of information revealed is very limited.
