Description

Jenkins 2.286 and earlier, LTS 2.277.1 and earlier does not properly check that a newly created view has an allowed name. When a form to create a view is submitted, the name is included twice in the submission. One instance is validated, but the other instance is used to create the value.

This allows attackers with View/Create permission to create views with invalid or already-used names.

Jenkins 2.287, LTS 2.277.2 uses the same submitted value for validation and view creation.

How to fix

Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.
