Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- jenkins-email-ext before version 2.57.1 is vulnerable to an Information Exposure. The Email Extension
Plugins is able to send emails to a dynamically created list of users based on the changelogs, like
authors of SCM changes since the last successful build. This could in some cases result in emails being
sent to people who have no user account in Jenkins, and in rare cases even people who were not involved in
whatever project was being built, due to some mapping based on the local-part of email addresses.
