CVE-2019-10286
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 DeployHub Plugin stores credentials unencrypted in job config.xml files on the Jenkins master where they can be viewed by users with Extended Read permission, or 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 DeployHub Plugin stores credentials in plain text within job config.xml files on the Jenkins master. This exposes sensitive credentials to any user with Extended Read permission on Jenkins jobs or anyone with direct file system access to the master server.

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.
-
Verify DeployHub plugin is installedNavigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed and search for 'DeployHub' or 'openmake', or use the CLI: jenkins-cli.jar or REST API /pluginManager/plugins to list installed pluginsAffected if The DeployHub plugin appears in the installed plugins list (any version)
-
Locate job config.xml filesBrowse to $JENKINS_HOME/jobs/ and locate the config.xml file within each job directory. These XML files store job configurations.Affected if You have access to Jenkins job configuration files and the DeployHub plugin is installed
-
Search for DeployHub credential entries in job configsOpen each job's config.xml and search for strings like 'deployhub', 'omdeployhub', 'omcredential', or credential binding elements specific to DeployHub plugin. Look for <org.jenkinsci.plugins.deployhub.DeployHubCredential> or similar plugin-specific XML elements.Affected if The config.xml contains DeployHub-specific credential configuration blocks
-
Check for plaintext passwords in DeployHub configurationWithin the DeployHub configuration sections of config.xml, examine any password, secret, or credential fields. The vulnerability exists when these appear as plaintext values rather than masked or referencing Jenkins credential store IDs.Affected if Plaintext password or secret values are visible in DeployHub-related XML elements (not masked or referencing credentials bindings)
You are affected if the DeployHub plugin is installed and any job config.xml files contain plaintext credentials within DeployHub-specific configuration sections.

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 dataMigrate credentials to Jenkins' built-in credential store and update the plugin to use proper credential binding instead of storing plaintext passwords in job configuration files.
