CVE-2023-32979
First published: Tue May 16 2023(Updated: )
Jenkins Email Extension Plugin 2.96 and earlier does not perform a permission check in a method implementing form validation. This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to check for the existence of files in the `email-templates/` directory in the Jenkins home directory on the controller file system. This form validation method requires the appropriate permission in Email Extension Plugin 2.96.1.
