[JENKINS-72239] Scripts are not getting approved , when I post the updated config.xml with api using Admin credential and token

with the script security plugin recent version - 1275.v23895f409fb_d , when we post confix.xml using REST API with Admin credential and token , the updated config.xml is not being approved automatically. 

We have to go into the scriptApproval page and approve the scripts.

Earlier the approval used to happen automatically using the Admin gui.

It would be very helpful if there is a way to approve scripts without having to manually approve them using the GUI.

Actually, we are working on a feature to add / remove a parameter from pipelines based on flags provided by user. so we need a way to automatically approve the config.xml of a pipeline without requiring manaul process with GUI.

Jenkins version:- 2.426
