Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from unencrypted password storage in config.xml
. Jenkins plugins typically serialize configuration data via XStream or similar mechanisms. The ProxmoxComputer
class likely manages credential storage, while ProxmoxConfiguration
handles global settings. These functions
would directly write the password field to disk without encryption. The patch in v0.6.0 introduced encryption, implying the original functions
lacked cryptographic handling. The high confidence stems from the direct mapping between the vulnerability description and typical Jenkins plugin architecture patterns.
