GHSA-QGW9-VGRF-H723
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-04-12 18:30 – Updated: 2023-04-12 22:18Jenkins Report Portal Plugin 0.5 and earlier stores ReportPortal access tokens unencrypted in job config.xml files on the Jenkins controller as part of its configuration.
These tokens can be viewed by users with Item/Extended Read permission or access to the Jenkins controller file system.
Additionally, the configuration form does not mask these tokens, increasing the potential for attackers to observe and capture them.

Mitigation
When storing data in the cloud (e.g., S3 buckets, Azure blobs, Google Cloud Storage, etc.), use the provider's controls to encrypt the data at rest. [REF-1297] [REF-1299] [REF-1301]
Mitigation
In some systems/environments such as cloud, the use of "double encryption" (at both the software and hardware layer) might be required, and the developer might be solely responsible for both layers, instead of shared responsibility with the administrator of the broader system/environment.
CAPEC-37: Retrieve Embedded Sensitive Data
An attacker examines a target system to find sensitive data that has been embedded within it. This information can reveal confidential contents, such as account numbers or individual keys/credentials that can be used as an intermediate step in a larger attack.
