Jenkins Folder-based Authorization Strategy Plugin 217.vd5b_18537403e and earlier does not verify that permissions configured to be granted are enabled, potentially allowing users formerly granted (typically optional permissions, like Overall/Manage) to access functionality they're no longer entitled to.
Folder-based Authorization Strategy Plugin 1.3 and earlier does not escape the names of roles shown on the configuration form. This results in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers with Overall/Administer permission. Folder-based Authorization Strategy Plugin 1.4 escapes the names of roles shown on the configuration form. See https://www.jenkins.io/security/advisory/2022-03-15/#SECURITY-2646
