Description
Jenkins Job Import Plugin 143.v044a_2e819b_27 and earlier does not perform a permission check in an HTTP endpoint.
This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to enumerate credentials IDs of credentials stored in Jenkins. Those can be used as part of an attack to capture the credentials using another vulnerability.
An enumeration of credentials IDs in Job Import Plugin 143.145.v48f9a_a_6ff384 requires Job Import/Import Jobs permission.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:job-import-plugin, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:job-import-plugin to 143.145.v48f9a or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-p8jh-4p5p-2rfp is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Close the privilege gap rather than the entry point: audit which accounts, roles and service identities can reach the affected operation, drop the component to the least privilege it actually needs, and review file and directory permissions created by earlier installs — a default left in place is what makes this reachable.
