Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from improper credential handling in two key areas: 1) The descriptor's configure method persists configuration data without encrypting the password field. 2) The password field is stored/retrieved as plaintext rather than using Jenkins' secure credential storage mechanisms (Secret class). This matches Jenkins plugin vulnerability patterns where sensitive fields aren't properly marked as @DataBoundConstructor parameters with Secret serialization.
