CVE-2019-10281
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedJenkins Relution Enterprise Appstore Publisher Plugin stores credentials unencrypted in its global configuration file on the Jenkins master where they can be viewed by users with access to the master file system.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Jenkins Relution Enterprise Appstore Publisher Plugin stores credentials in plaintext within its global configuration file on the Jenkins master node. Users who have file system access to the Jenkins master can read these configuration files and obtain the stored credentials without authentication.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm if Relution Enterprise Appstore Publisher plugin is installedNavigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab, or inspect the JENKINS_HOME/plugins directory for a folder named 'relution-enterprise-appstore-publisher' or similar.Affected if Plugin is present in the list of installed plugins or as a directory in the plugins folder.
-
Locate the plugin global configuration fileCheck JENKINS_HOME/org.jenkinsci.plugins.relution for a config.xml file, or search for files containing 'relution' in JENKINS_HOME. Plugin configurations are typically stored in $JENKINS_HOME/org.jenkinsci.plugins.relution* or within plugin-specific subdirectories.Affected if Configuration directory or file exists for this plugin.
-
Inspect the configuration file for stored credentialsOpen the found configuration file in a text editor or use a command like 'cat' to view its contents. Look for fields containing username, password, apiKey, or similar credential-related parameters.Affected if Configuration file contains plaintext username, password, API key, or other credential values without encryption or masking.
-
Verify credentials are stored in plaintext rather than maskedCompare the stored values to expected credential patterns. Plaintext credentials will appear as readable text (e.g., actual password string) rather than masked characters or encrypted blobs.Affected if Credential fields contain readable, unmasked password or API key strings that could be directly used by an attacker.
If the Relution Enterprise Appstore Publisher plugin is installed and its configuration file contains plaintext (unencrypted, unmasked) credentials, the environment is affected by CVE-2019-10281.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImmediately rotate any credentials that may have been stored by this plugin. Restrict file system access to the Jenkins master and consider migrating to Jenkins' built-in credentials store, or use an alternative plugin that handles credentials securely.
