CVE-2025-53673

Vulnerability

Description

The Jenkins Sensedia Api Platform tools Plugin version 1.0 stores an integration token used to authenticate with the Sensedia API Manager in its global configuration file on the Jenkins controller without encrypting it. The token is kept in plaintext on the controller's file system, as confirmed by the official advisory and the NVD entry [1][3].

Exploitation

An attacker or authorized user with file system access to the Jenkins controller can read this configuration file and retrieve the unencrypted integration token. Such access may be gained through other Jenkins vulnerabilities or through existing administrative or system-level privileges on the controller host. No additional authentication or network position is required beyond the ability to read files on the controller [1][3].

Impact

Retrieving the plaintext integration token could allow an attacker to impersonate the Jenkins instance when interacting with the Sensedia API Manager. This could lead to unauthorized API access, data manipulation, or further compromise of the Sensedia platform resources managed through the plugin [1][3].

Mitigation

As of the July 9, 2025 Jenkins security advisory, no fix for this plugin has been released, and the vulnerability remains unresolved. The advisory lists the plugin among those with unresolved security issues [1][2]. Users are advised to restrict access to the Jenkins controller file system, monitor the plugin's repository for future updates, or consider disabling the plugin if it is not essential [1][2][4].
