Re: [cbi-dev] Make jenkins.eclipse.org job config publicly visible by default?

Hi

Before sending my earlier too-simple response to accessing download.eclipse.org, I checked and corrected the permissions of https://ci.eclipse.org/ocl/job/promoter/

It would appear that the intention to provide read access by default is not happening in practice. It would appear that most jobs do not comply.

I see two sets of defaults. One for anonymous and one for authenticated users. Does "authenticated" mean logged in? Both sets of permissions seem blank by default.

I feel that it is very important to at least allow logged in users to read the job config. The only security issue I can see is if some script has a clear text password, which seems like a very undesirable practice meriting an alternative solution, just possibly an explicitly private config.

So anonymous users can see build results, build artifacts & console logs.

Ok, so that could be an issue with my specific pipeline job then.
On https://jenkins.eclipse.org/wildwebdeveloper/job/Wildwebdeveloper/ , if I'm not logged in, I can't see the Pull Request jobs. I'd like any user to be able to look at PR build status.

By default, all logged in committers also have the following permission:
* Job/ExtendedRead
This allows to *read* the job configuration.

Ok, good then.

Allowing non-privileged users to read the job configuration *can* be a
potential security issue.

Out of curiosity, what kind of security issue could it be?
