CVE-2025-53654

AWS Secret Key disclosure via plaintext configuration

Published Jul 9, 2025 · Updated Nov 4, 2025

Plaintext credential storage in Jenkins Statistics Gatherer Plugin 2.0.3 and earlier allows local users to read an AWS Secret Key. The plugin serializes the configured key without encryption into org.jenkins.plugins.statistics.gatherer.StatisticsConfiguration.xml on the controller. Access to the Jenkins controller filesystem is required, and disclosure exposes the configured AWS credential to reuse against permitted AWS resources.
