CVE-2025-53675Network attack vector

Password disclosure via plaintext job configuration storage

Published Jul 9, 2025 · Updated Nov 4, 2025

Plaintext password storage in Jenkins Warrior Framework Plugin 1.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read job credentials. The plugin serializes configured password values directly into each job's config.xml instead of using Jenkins credential encryption. Item/Extended Read permission or controller filesystem access is required, and successful access discloses reusable job credentials.
