Description

Jenkins Credentials Binding Plugin Jenkins 1.17 is affected by: CWE-257: Storing Passwords in a Recoverable Format. The impact is: Authenticated users can recover credentials. The component is: config-variables.jelly line #30 (passwordVariable). The attack vector is: Attacker creates and executes a Jenkins job.

• CWE-257Storing Passwords in a Recoverable FormatThe storage of passwords in a recoverable format makes them subject to password reuse attacks by malicious users. In fact, it should be noted that recoverable encrypted passwords provide no significant benefit over plaintext passwords since they are subject not only to reuse by malicious attackers but also by malicious insiders. If a system administrator can recover a password directly, or use a brute force search on the available information, the administrator can use the password on other accounts.
• CWE-522Insufficiently Protected CredentialsThe product transmits or stores authentication credentials, but it uses an insecure method that is susceptible to unauthorized interception and/or retrieval.
