CVE-2020-2233
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 · uneditedA missing permission check in Jenkins Pipeline Maven Integration Plugin 3.8.2 and earlier allows users with Overall/Read access to enumerate credentials ID of credentials stored in Jenkins.
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 Pipeline Maven Integration Plugin versions 3.8.2 and earlier lacks proper permission checks on certain API endpoints. Users with only Overall/Read permission (a baseline permission typically granted to all authenticated users) can enumerate credential IDs stored in Jenkins through this vulnerability. This exposes sensitive credential identifiers that could aid in targeted attacks, though the actual secret values remain protected.

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 Pipeline Maven Integration Plugin is installedGo to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab and search for 'Pipeline Maven Integration' in the list of installed plugins.Affected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list.
-
Identify the installed plugin versionIn the installed plugins list, locate the Pipeline Maven Integration entry and note the Version column. Alternatively, check the plugin's detail page for the version number.Affected if The version is 3.8.2 or lower.
-
Verify users have Overall/Read permissionGo to Manage Jenkins > Manage Users and review user accounts. Check if any users are authenticated and could have baseline Overall/Read permission, which is typically granted to all authenticated users by default.Affected if There are authenticated users in Jenkins with Overall/Read permission.
-
Check for configured credentialsGo to Credentials > System > Global credentials (or navigate to any credentials stores configured for Pipeline Maven Integration) and review if any credentials are stored.Affected if Credentials are configured and stored in Jenkins.
You are affected if the Pipeline Maven Integration Plugin version is 3.8.2 or lower, your Jenkins instance has authenticated users with Overall/Read permission, and credentials are configured in Jenkins.

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 dataUpdate Jenkins Pipeline Maven Integration Plugin to version 3.9.0 or later which includes the proper permission checks. Alternatively, restrict Overall/Read access or review credentials visibility if the plugin update is not immediately feasible.
