CVE-2023-32983Network attack vector

Secret disclosure via unmasked extra-variable fields

Published May 16, 2023 · Updated Jan 23, 2025

Information disclosure in Jenkins Ansible Plugin 204.v8191fd551eb_f and earlier allows remote authenticated users to view extra-variable secrets. Its two config.jelly forms bind each extra-variable value to a plain text-box field, so saved values render visibly rather than through a password control. Access to a job configuration form is required, and exposed values can disclose credentials or other secrets passed to Ansible.
