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.
