This was a fun authorization check bypass because when checking if higher privileges were needed the `flag` value was checked for equality with the two privileged actions.Later on however, when deciding what handler to use to handle to request, it used a bitwise operation to check if the specific bit is set...
 

CorePlague: Severe Vulnerabilities in Jenkins Server Lead to RCE
