Generic Webhook Trigger Plugin 1.84.1 and earlier does not use a constant-time comparison when checking whether the provided and expected webhook token are equal.

This could potentially allow attackers to use statistical methods to obtain a valid webhook token.

Generic Webhook Trigger Plugin 1.84.2 uses a constant-time comparison when validating the webhook token.
