📋 Description

This vulnerability was introduced in Jenkins 2.266 and LTS 2.277.1.
Jenkins 2.300, LTS 2.289.2 invalidates the previous session on login.
In case of problems, administrators can choose a different implementation by setting the Java system property hudson.security.SecurityRealm.sessionFixationProtectionMode to 2, or disable the fix entirely by setting that system property to 0.
