Jenkins Code Dx Plugin stores API keys in plain text

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 16, 2023 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jan 4, 2024

Package

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

Affected versions

< 4.0.0

Patched versions

4.0.0

Description

Jenkins Code Dx Plugin 3.1.0 and earlier stores Code Dx server 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.

Additionally, the job configuration form does not mask these API keys, increasing the potential for attackers to observe and capture them.

Code Dx Plugin 4.0.0 no longer stores the API keys directly, instead accessing them through its newly added Credentials Plugin integration. Affected jobs need to be reconfigured.

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.
