High (8.8) in jenkins jenkins. EPSS 1.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core 2.46.2, 2.57.
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.
