CVE-2022-34213

Credential disclosure via plaintext controller configuration

Credential exposure in Jenkins Squash TM Publisher Plugin 1.0.0 and earlier allows local users to read stored passwords. The plugin writes configured passwords without encryption to org.jenkinsci.squashtm.core.SquashTMPublisher.xml in the Jenkins controller home. Exploitation requires controller file-system access and exposes only credentials present in that global configuration file.
