CVE-2022-41248
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 BigPanda Notifier Plugin 1.4.0 and earlier does not mask the BigPanda API key on the global configuration form, increasing the potential for attackers to observe and capture it.
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 BigPanda Notifier Plugin versions 1.4.0 and earlier displays the BigPanda API key in plaintext on the global configuration form instead of masking it as a password field, allowing attackers with access to the Jenkins UI to view and capture the API key.

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 BigPanda Notifier Plugin is installedNavigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab and search for 'BigPanda' in the list of installed pluginsAffected if The BigPanda Notifier Plugin appears in the installed plugins list
-
Confirm installed plugin versionOn the Installed plugins page, locate the BigPanda Notifier entry and note the Version column valueAffected if The version listed is 1.4.0 or earlier (for example, 1.4.0, 1.3.0, etc.)
-
Inspect global configuration form for plaintext API keyNavigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Configure System, locate the BigPanda Notifier configuration section, and examine the API Key field - check whether the value is displayed as plaintext (readable characters) rather than masked as dots or asterisksAffected if The API Key field displays the actual key characters in plaintext rather than showing masked password characters
If the BigPanda Notifier Plugin version is 1.4.0 or earlier AND the global configuration page shows the API key in plaintext (unmasked), 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.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade the BigPanda Notifier Plugin to a version newer than 1.4.0 where the API key field is properly masked as a password type, or restrict administrative access to the global configuration page.
Latest version after 1.4.0 (verify via Jenkins Plugin Index)
- 1. Navigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab
- 2. Locate the BigPanda Notifier plugin in the list
- 3. Check if an update is available for the plugin
- 4. If an update is available, install the latest version that masks the API key field
- 5. After updating, verify the global configuration form now uses a password field type for the BigPanda API key
- 6. Re-save the BigPanda configuration to ensure the credential is properly stored
