Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stemmed from plaintext storage of AWS secrets in job configurations. The commit diff shows:

  1. The 'awsSecretKey' field type changed from String to Secret (Jenkins' encrypted credential type)
  2. getAwsSecretKey() return type changed from String to Secret
  3. All usages were updated to use Secret.toString() for safe handling These changes indicate the constructor and getter were directly responsible for insecure credential storage in vulnerable versions. The functions would serialize secrets to config.xml without encryption, accessible via file system or Jenkins UI.
