CVE-2020-2140 Scanner

Jenkins Audit Trail Plugin is a software tool commonly used for auditing purposes for businesses that use the Jenkins build system. The tool is designed to track system build logs, errors and configuration files. It offers an accountability feature that tracks the origin of a change in the system and when it occurred. This feature can be highly valuable for businesses, particularly in cases of system breaches or unauthorized modifications.

One of the significant challenges that Jenkins Audit Trail Plugin faces is the CVE-2020-2140 vulnerability.

They can extract sensitive customer information and perform fraudulent actions such as making unauthorized transactions. They can also add or remove users from the system and delete or tamper with critical files.
