CVE-2022-34807

Password disclosure via plaintext controller configuration

Published Jun 30, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Plaintext credential storage in Jenkins Elasticsearch Query Plugin 1.2 and earlier allows local users to read an Elasticsearch password. The plugin serializes the password without encryption into org.jenkinsci.plugins.elasticsearchquery.ElasticsearchQueryBuilder.xml in the controller global configuration. Exploitation requires access to the Jenkins controller file system and exposes the configured Elasticsearch credential without altering Jenkins data or service availability.
