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.

Other sources

Jenkins Build Failure Analyzer Plugin 2.4.1 and earlier does not perform a permission check in a connection test HTTP endpoint.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified hostname and port using attacker-specified username and password.

Additionally, this HTTP endpoint does not require POST requests, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

Build Failure Analyzer Plugin 2.4.2 requires POST requests and Overall/Administer permission for the affected HTTP endpoint.
