An session fixation vulnerability exists in Jenkins GitHub Authentication Plugin 0.29 and earlier in GithubSecurityRealm.java that allows unauthorized attackers to impersonate another user if they can control the pre-authentication session.
Authenticating a user, or otherwise establishing a new user session, without invalidating any existing session identifier gives an attacker the opportunity to steal authenticated sessions.
