Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stemmed from storing API credentials in plain text within plugin configurations. The pre-patch code in TinfoilScanRecorder.java
contained explicit handling of API secret keys via getAPISecretKey()
and global configuration via DescriptorImpl.configure()
. The commit replaced these with credential ID references to Jenkins' secure credential storage, confirming these functions were the exposure points. The CVE description explicitly mentions unencrypted storage in configuration files, aligning with these functions' pre-patch behavior.
