CVE-2019-10285
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 Minio Storage 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 Minio Storage Plugin stores credentials unencrypted in plaintext within its global configuration file on the Jenkins master server. Users with access to the master file system can directly read these stored credentials without any decryption.

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.
-
Identify if Minio Storage Plugin is installedNavigate to Jenkins Manage Plugins > Installed tab and search for 'Minio Storage' or inspect $JENKINS_HOME/plugins directory for minio-related plugin foldersAffected if The Minio Storage plugin appears in the list of installed plugins
-
Locate the plugin global configuration fileCheck the Jenkins home directory for configuration files containing 'minio' in the filename or path, typically found in $JENKINS_HOME/org.jenkinsci.plugins.minio.*.xml or within the main config.xml under a Minio-related elementAffected if A configuration file related to Minio Storage exists in the Jenkins configuration directory
-
Inspect the configuration file for plaintext credentialsOpen the Minio-related configuration file using a text editor or command such as cat/grep to view its contents, looking for unencrypted access key and secret key valuesAffected if The file contains plain text strings resembling credentials (access key, secret key, password fields) without encryption or encoding markers
-
Verify credential exposure riskCheck file system permissions on the configuration file using 'ls -la' to determine if unauthorized users can read the fileAffected if The configuration file is readable by users other than the Jenkins service account and contains plaintext credentials
A user is affected if the Minio Storage Plugin is installed and its global configuration file contains unencrypted plaintext credentials accessible to users with filesystem access.

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 dataRestrict filesystem access to Jenkins configuration directories, rotate any exposed credentials immediately, and update to a patched version of the Minio Storage Plugin if available.
