Descriptions

Jenkins Email Extension Plugin does not perform a permission check in a method implementing form validation, allowing attackers with Overall/Read permission to check for the existence of files in the email-templates/ directory in the Jenkins home directory on the controller file system.

A flaw was found in the Jenkins Email Extension Plugin. Affected versions of the Jenkins Email Extension Plugin could allow a remote, authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information caused by improper permission validation. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker can check for the existence of files in the email-templates/ directory and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
