jenkins: Login command allowed impersonating any Jenkins user (SECURITY-466)

Published Jan 29, 2018 CVSS 3.0 · 8.8 High EPSS 1.2% KEV · Not listed
Description
Jenkins versions 2.56 and earlier as well as 2.46.1 LTS and earlier are vulnerable to a login command which allowed impersonating any Jenkins user. The `login` command available in the remoting-based CLI stored the encrypted user name of the successfully authenticated user in a cache file used to authenticate further commands. Users with sufficient permission to create secrets in Jenkins, and download their encrypted values (e.g. with Job/Configure permission), were able to impersonate any other Jenkins user on the same instance.
