CVE-2017-1000401: Improper Input Validation

January 26, 2018 (updated May 8, 2019)

The Jenkins default form control for passwords and other secrets, <f:password/>, supports form validation. The form validation AJAX requests were sent via GET, which could result in secrets being logged to an HTTP access log in non-default configurations of Jenkins, and made available to users with access to these log files.
