Jenkins Consul KV Builder Plugin stores HashiCorp Consul ACL Token unencrypted

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Apr 12, 2023 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Apr 21, 2023

Description

Jenkins Consul KV Builder Plugin 2.0.13 and earlier stores the HashiCorp Consul ACL Token unencrypted in its global configuration file org.jenkinsci.plugins.consulkv.GlobalConsulConfig.xml on the Jenkins controller as part of its configuration.

This token can be viewed by users with access to the Jenkins controller file system.

Additionally, the global configuration form does not mask the token, increasing the potential for attackers to observe and capture it.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
