Jenkins Plugin Stores Passwords Unencrypted in Job Files

CVE-2022-45392 · published 3 years ago
Summary

The Jenkins NS-ND Integration Performance Publisher Plugin stores passwords in plain text in job files on the Jenkins controller, which can be accessed by attackers with sufficient permissions or access to the file system. This means that sensitive information can be easily read by unauthorized individuals. To mitigate this, update the plugin to the latest version or take steps to secure access to the Jenkins controller and its file system.

What to do
  • Update jenkins io.jenkins.plugins:cavisson-ns-nd-integration to version 4.8.0.146.
  • Update jenkins ns-nd_integration_performance_publisher to version 4.8.0.146 or later.
