Description Andrej Nemec 2017-02-02 15:14:25 UTC 
The following flaw was found in Jenkins:

The URLs /workspaceCleanup and /fingerprintCleanup did not perform permission checks, allowing users with read access to Jenkins to trigger these background processes (that are otherwise performed daily), possibly causing additional load on Jenkins master and agents.
