Secret displayed without masking by Chef Identity Plugin

Low severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jul 26, 2023 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Nov 11, 2023

Package

maven org.jenkins-ci.plugins:chef-identity (Maven)

Affected versions

<= 2.0.3

Patched versions

None

Description

Chef Identity Plugin stores the user.pem key in its global configuration file io.chef.jenkins.ChefIdentityBuildWrapper.xml on the Jenkins controller as part of its configuration.

While this key is stored encrypted on disk, in Chef Identity Plugin 2.0.3 and earlier the global configuration form does not mask the user.pem key form field, 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.
