Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Jenkins Role-based Authorization Strategy Plugin (org.jenkins-ci.plugins:role-strategy) versions up to 587.v2872c41fa_e51 keep granting permissions after they have been disabled. An attacker who already holds a permission that was later disabled can gain more access than they should have. The source gives few details on how the disabling is carried out. Upgrade to version 587.588.v850a_20a_30162, which does not grant disabled permissions.
