Jenkins Config File Provider Plugin 3.7.0 and earlier does not require POST requests for an HTTP endpoint, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

This vulnerability allows attackers to delete configuration files corresponding to an attacker-specified ID.

This is due to an incomplete fix of [SECURITY-938](https://www.jenkins.io/security/advisory/2018-09-25/#SECURITY-938).

Jenkins Config File Provider Plugin 3.7.1 requires POST requests for the affected HTTP endpoint.
