CVE-2025-53674

Vulnerability

Description

Jenkins Sensedia Api Platform tools Plugin version 1.0 contains a security weakness where the Sensedia API Manager integration token is not masked on the global configuration form. This means the token is displayed in plaintext, rather than being obfuscated with asterisks or hidden characters, as is standard practice for credential fields [1][2][3]. The root cause is a lack of proper masking implementation for that specific credential input.

Exploitation

Context

An attacker with the ability to view the Jenkins controller's configuration screens—for example, a user with sufficient permissions to navigate to the 'Configure System' page, or an attacker who has achieved limited access through another vulnerability—can directly observe the token. No special authentication is required beyond Jenkins access privileges that allow viewing global configuration settings [1][2]. The token is not exposed in build logs or other outputs, but the form itself is the exposure surface.

Impact

If an attacker obtains the Sensedia API Manager integration token, they could impersonate the Jenkins instance to interact with the Sensedia API Platform. This could lead to unauthorized access to API definitions, code downloads, quality analyses, or deployments—the very operations the plugin is designed to automate [4]. The severity is elevated because the token may grant broad access to the organization's API management infrastructure.

Mitigation

The Jenkins Security Advisory (2025-07-09) notes this as an unresolved security issue in the plugin [1][2]. As of the advisory date, no patched version has been released for Sensedia Api Platform tools Plugin. Users are advised to restrict access to the Jenkins global configuration form to only trusted administrators, and to consider rotating any exposed tokens until a fix is available [1][2].
