Werk #20120 started serving the agent files provided by monitoring plugins — for example the Oracle plugin's mk-oracle files — through a dedicated download handler.
That handler required a Checkmk login and the Download agents permission, while the agent files below share/check_mk/agents have always been served without either.
Unauthenticated installation flows fetching such a file got an error instead of the file.
Files provided by the monitoring plugins shipped with your Checkmk version are now served without a login again.
Files provided by locally installed monitoring plugins — for example from an extension package (MKP) — still require a login and the Download agents permission. The download page marks their sections accordingly.
