Descriptions

Jenkins before 1.638 and LTS before 1.625.2 uses a publicly accessible salt to generate CSRF protection tokens, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass the CSRF protection mechanism via a brute force attack.

Jenkins en versiones anteriores a 1.638 y LTS en versiones anteriores a 1.625.2 utiliza un salt de acceso público para generar tokens de protección CSRF, lo que hace que sea más fácil para atacantes remotos eludir el mecanismo de protección CSRF a través de un ataque de fuerza bruta.
