Secret file credentials stored unencrypted in rare cases by Plain Credentials Plugin
CVE-2024-39459 · GHSA-3cpq-rw36-cppv
- Affected
- Maven org.jenkins-ci.plugins:plain-credentials < 183.va
- Fixed in
- 183.va· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- When creating secret file credentials Plain Credentials Plugin 182.v468b97b9dcb8 and earlier attempts to decrypt the content of the file to check if it constitutes a valid encrypted secret. In rare cases the file content matches the expected format of an encrypted secret, and the file content will be stored unencrypted (only Base64 encoded) on the Jenkins controller file system. These credentials can be viewed by users with access to the Jenkins controller file system (global credentials) or with Item/Extended Read permission (folder-scoped credentials). Plain Credentials Plugin 183.vade8f1dd5a2b no longer attempts to decrypt the content of the file when creating secret file credentials.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 183.va or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
