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 · unedited
Jenkins Delphix 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 confidence

The Jenkins Delphix Plugin stores credentials in plaintext within its global configuration file on the Jenkins master filesystem. Users with access to the master file system can directly read these unencrypted credentials, leading to confidentiality compromise.

MitigationRestrict filesystem access to the Jenkins master and upgrade to a patched version of the Delphix Plugin that implements proper credential encryption.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if Delphix Plugin is installed
    Navigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab, or check the $JENKINS_HOME/plugins directory for the delphix plugin folder
    Affected if The Delphix plugin appears in the installed plugins list
  2. Check the installed Delphix Plugin version
    In Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab, find the Delphix plugin and note the version number displayed
    Affected if The version is 2.0.4 or lower
  3. Locate the Delphix plugin global configuration file
    Check the Jenkins home directory for configuration files related to Delphix - typically in $JENKINS_HOME/org.jenkinsci.plugins.delphix.* or similar path under the jenkins_home directory
    Affected if A configuration file for the Delphix plugin exists in the Jenkins home directory
  4. Inspect credentials storage format
    Open the Delphix plugin configuration file using a text editor or file viewer and examine the stored credential data
    Affected if Credentials appear as plaintext readable strings rather than encrypted or masked values

A user is affected if they have the Delphix Plugin installed at version 2.0.4 or lower and possess a global configuration file containing unencrypted credentials.

Check your environment

Paste your version and any relevant configuration and it will be compared against the affected criteria above. Do not include secrets or credentials.

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 data
Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 2.0.4
Interim mitigation

Restrict filesystem access to the Jenkins master and upgrade to a patched version of the Delphix Plugin that implements proper credential encryption.
