GHSA-223m-4rfp-646h: Jenkins is missing a permission check in the authenticated users' profile menu
Jenkins 2.527 and earlier, LTS 2.516.2 and earlier does not perform a permission check for the authenticated user profile dropdown menu. This allows attackers without Overall/Read permission to obtain limited information about the Jenkins configuration by listing available options in this menu (e.g., whether Credentials Plugin is installed).
Jenkins 2.528, LTS 2.516.3 requires Overall/Read permission to list various items in authenticated user profile dropdown menus.
