Machine-written summary

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

Jenkins core (org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core) versions below 2.516.3, and from 2.517 up to but not including 2.528, are vulnerable. An attacker who can control the content of log messages can insert line break characters and forge log entries that may mislead administrators reviewing the output. Upgrade to 2.516.3 for the LTS line or 2.528 for the weekly line. The source gives few details on the exact conditions required to control log content.
