      When accessing various RESTful resources in Jenkins, e.g. <https://$JENKINS_URL/user/$USERNAME/my-views/view/All/>, the username is used as a REST parameter. This causes the username to be leaked in the URL. URLs can be stored in server logs, caching proxies, and browsers, thus exposing the username to others. The username could then be used in a password guessing, brute-force, or social engineering attack.

      The username should not be used as a REST parameter. The username should only be submitted via POST requests or an alternate identifier should be used in the URL.
