AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
Jenkins Configuration as Code Plugin 0.7-alpha and earlier logs plaintext passwords, allowing attackers with log access to obtain them.
Vulnerability
Jenkins Configuration as Code Plugin version 0.7-alpha and earlier exposes a sensitive information vulnerability in DataBoundConfigurator.java, Attribute.java, BaseConfigurator.java, and ExtensionConfigurator.java. These components mishandle passwords configured via the plugin, causing them to be written in plaintext to Jenkins log files [1][2].
Exploitation
An attacker requires access to Jenkins log files, which can be obtained through other vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, or legitimate administrative access. The attacker simply reads the log files to extract the plaintext passwords [1][2].
Impact
Successful exploitation leads to disclosure of sensitive passwords configured through the Configuration as Code Plugin. This could compromise Jenkins credentials and allow further unauthorized access to systems integrated with Jenkins [1][2].
Mitigation
A fix was released in Configuration as Code Plugin version 0.8-alpha, dated 2018-06-25. Users should upgrade to 0.8-alpha or later. No workaround is documented; removing log access for untrusted users is a preventive measure but does not resolve the vulnerability [1][2].
