Jenkins · Jenkins · CVE-2017-1000401
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Jenkins versions 2.73.1 and earlier, 2.83 and earlier
**Description**
The default form control for passwords and other secrets in Jenkins supports form validation, which could potentially log secrets to HTTP access logs in non-default configurations. This issue arises because form validation AJAX requests were sent via GET. Form validation is now sent via POST, which is typically not logged.
**Recommendations**
For Jenkins versions 2.73.1 and earlier, 2.83 and earlier, update the form validation to send requests via POST to prevent secrets from being logged to HTTP access logs.
