Updated

Jenkins Configuration as Code Plugin 1.55 and earlier used a non-constant time comparison function when validating an authentication token allowing attackers to use statistical methods to obtain a valid authentication token.

Other sources

Jenkins Configuration as Code Plugin prior to 1.55.1, 1.54.1, 1.53.1, and 1.47.1 does not use a constant-time comparison when checking whether two authentication tokens are equal.

This could potentially allow attackers to use statistical methods to obtain a valid authentication token.

Configuration as Code Plugin 1.55.1, 1.54.1, 1.53.1, and 1.47.1 now uses a constant-time comparison when validating authentication tokens.
