Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Oct 19, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Oct 2, 2023

Package

maven org.jenkins-ci.plugins:katalon (Maven)

Affected versions

< 1.0.33

Patched versions

1.0.33

Description

Jenkins Katalon Plugin 1.0.32 and earlier stores API keys unencrypted in job config.xml files on the Jenkins controller as part of its configuration.

These API keys can be viewed by users with Item/Extended Read permission or access to the Jenkins controller file system.

Katalon Plugin 1.0.33 no longer stores the API keys directly, instead accessing them through its Credentials Plugin integration, once affected job configurations are saved again.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
