CVE-2019-10302
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 jira-ext Plugin 0.8 and earlier stored credentials unencrypted in its global configuration file on the Jenkins master where they could 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 jira-ext Plugin version 0.8 and earlier stores credentials unencrypted in plaintext within its global configuration file on the Jenkins master filesystem. Any user with access to the Jenkins master file system can view these stored credentials, leading to potential credential compromise.

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 jira-ext plugin versionNavigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab, or inspect the plugin's .jpi file metadata in $JENKINS_HOME/plugins/Affected if The installed version is 0.8 or earlier
-
Locate the jira-ext plugin global configurationLook in the Jenkins home directory under the plugin's configuration folder for XML or config files, typically found in $JENKINS_HOME/org.jenkinsci.plugins.jira-ext/ or similar plugin-specific subdirectoryAffected if A global configuration file exists for the jira-ext plugin
-
Inspect configuration file for plaintext credentialsOpen the configuration file with a text editor or use grep to search for credential patterns such as API tokens, usernames, or passwords stored as cleartext valuesAffected if Credentials such as usernames, passwords, or API tokens appear in plaintext within the configuration file
-
Verify filesystem permissions on configuration fileCheck file permissions on the identified configuration file to confirm it is readable by users other than the Jenkins administrator accountAffected if The configuration file is readable by non-admin users or the Jenkins process owner
If the jira-ext plugin version is 0.8 or earlier and its global configuration file contains unencrypted credentials readable from the filesystem, the environment is affected by this CVE.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 dataUpgrade jira-ext Plugin to version 0.9 or later which encrypts credentials. Also rotate all credentials stored by the affected plugin and restrict filesystem access to authorized administrators only.
