How to fix?

Upgrade org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core to versions 2.46.2, 2.57 or higher.

Overview

org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core is an open-source automation server.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authentication Bypass. The login command available in the remoting-based CLI stored the encrypted user name of the successfully authenticated user in a cache file used to authenticate further commands. Users with sufficient permission to create secrets in Jenkins, and download their encrypted values (e.g. with Job/Configure permission), were able to impersonate any other Jenkins user on the same instance.
