SCM credential disclosure via plaintext global configuration

Published Feb 12, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Credential exposure in Jenkins Project Harvest SCM 0.5.1 and earlier allows local users to read SCM passwords from the controller. The plugin writes the configured SCM password without encryption to hudson.plugins.harvest.HarvestSCM.xml in the controller's Jenkins home. Access to the controller file system is required, and disclosure is limited to the stored SCM credential.
