AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, restrict Item/Configure and Item/Build permissions to trusted users only to reduce the risk of exploitation.

Jenkins 2.575 and earlier, LTS 2.568.1 and earlier improperly identifies file paths attempting path traversal in file parameter names, allowing attackers with Item/Configure and Item/Build permission to write files to arbitrary locations on the controller file system.
