jenkins-core is vulnerable to Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity
78
High Risk
This Affects:
jenkins-coreTL;DR
User and group name handling mixes lowercase canonical IDs with String#equalsIgnoreCase comparisons that treat some Unicode characters as equal when lowercasing does not. An attacker who can create users or groups with names that match this way can impersonate other users or inherit their permissions when the security realm allows those characters. The fix compares names by canonical form only.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and use a security realm that allows creating users or groups whose names case-insensitively match existing ones with non-ASCII characters.
