Machine-written summary

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

Jenkins core versions before 2.555.3, and 2.556 through 2.567, store secrets submitted through POST config.xml requests unencrypted in job config.xml files. Users with Item/Extended Read permission, or anyone with access to the Jenkins controller file system, can read those secrets. Upgrade to 2.555.3 or 2.568, depending on your release line.
