CVE-2023-33000
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 NS-ND Integration Performance Publisher Plugin 4.8.0.149 and earlier does not mask credentials displayed on the configuration form, increasing the potential for attackers to observe and capture them.
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 NS-ND Integration Performance Publisher Plugin versions 4.8.0.149 and earlier fails to mask credentials entered in the plugin configuration form, causing sensitive authentication credentials to be displayed in plain text or visible to users with access to the configuration page.

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 plugin is installedNavigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed and search for 'NS-ND Integration Performance Publisher' or 'ns-nd-integration-performance-publisher'Affected if Plugin is not installed in Jenkins instance
-
Check installed plugin versionIn Manage Plugins > Installed tab, locate the NS-ND Integration Performance Publisher plugin and note the Version columnAffected if Version is 4.8.0.149 or earlier
-
Access plugin configurationNavigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Configure System and locate the 'NS-ND Integration Performance Publisher' section, or check job configuration if credentials are set at job levelAffected if Configuration page is accessible and contains credential fields
-
Inspect credential maskingExamine the credential input fields in the NS-ND configuration section - verify if the input type is 'password' (masked) or 'text' (visible) and whether credentials appear as plain textAffected if Credentials field type is 'text' or credentials are displayed in plain text rather than masked with dots or asterisks
User is affected if the NS-ND Integration Performance Publisher plugin version 4.8.0.149 or earlier is installed AND credentials entered in the plugin configuration appear as plain text instead of being masked.

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 the NS-ND Integration Performance Publisher Plugin to a version newer than 4.8.0.149 that properly masks credentials in the configuration form, and verify that credentials are no longer visible in plain text.
