CVE-2022-34806
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 Jigomerge Plugin 0.9 and earlier stores passwords unencrypted in job config.xml files on the Jenkins controller where they can be viewed by users with Extended Read permission, or access to the Jenkins controller 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 Jigomerge Plugin versions 0.9 and earlier stores passwords in plaintext within job config.xml files on the Jenkins controller filesystem. Users with Extended Read permission on Jenkins jobs can view these unencrypted passwords, or anyone with direct filesystem access to the Jenkins controller can read them from the XML configuration files.

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 Jigomerge plugin installation and versionNavigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab and search for 'jigomerge', or inspect the plugin directory at $JENKINS_HOME/plugins/ for the jigomerge folder and its manifestAffected if The Jigomerge plugin is installed and its version is 0.9 or earlier
-
Identify jobs configured to use JigomergeSearch job config.xml files for jigomerge-related configuration elements. This can be done via filesystem search: grep -r 'jigomerge' $JENKINS_HOME/jobs/*/config.xmlAffected if Any job configurations contain jigomerge settings, indicating the plugin was used and passwords may have been stored
-
Examine job config.xml for plaintext passwordsReview the contents of job config.xml files in $JENKINS_HOME/jobs/<jobname>/config.xml. Look for password fields that appear as readable text rather than masked or encrypted valuesAffected if Password fields in the configuration are stored in plaintext (unmasked, unencrypted text) rather than in Jenkins' credential password field format
A user is affected if the Jigomerge plugin version 0.9 or earlier is installed AND any jobs have been configured with jigomerge settings that contain plaintext passwords in the job config.xml files.
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.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to a patched version of the Jigomerge plugin if available, otherwise remove stored passwords from job configurations and audit all jobs that used the plugin for exposed credentials.
Jigomerge plugin version greater than 0.9 (check Jenkins plugin repository for latest available version)
- 1. Navigate to the Jenkins dashboard
- 2. Go to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins
- 3. Click on the 'Installed' tab
- 4. Locate the Jigomerge plugin in the list
- 5. If an update is available, click 'Update' to install the latest version
- 6. Restart Jenkins to apply the changes
- 7. After updating, verify that credentials are now stored encrypted in job config.xml files
