CVE-2023-24442

Credential disclosure via plaintext global configuration storage

Published Jan 24, 2023 · Updated Apr 2, 2025

Plaintext credential storage in Jenkins GitHub Pull Request Coverage Status Plugin 2.2.0 and earlier allows local users to read secrets. The plugin serializes the GitHub Personal Access Token, Sonar access token, and Sonar password directly into com.github.terma.jenkins.githubprcoveragestatus.Configuration.xml without encryption. Access to the Jenkins controller file system is required, and disclosure compromises the configured GitHub and Sonar credentials.
