CVE-2023-41934
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 Pipeline Maven Integration Plugin 1330.v18e473854496 and earlier does not properly mask (i.e., replace with asterisks) usernames of credentials specified in custom Maven settings in Pipeline build logs if "Treat username as secret" is checked.
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 fails to properly mask usernames of credentials marked as secret in custom Maven settings, causing these usernames to be exposed in plaintext within Pipeline build logs instead of being replaced with asterisks.

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.
-
Check the installed version of Pipeline Maven Integration PluginNavigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab, locate 'Pipeline Maven Integration' plugin, and note the version numberAffected if The installed version is 1330.v18e473854496 or lower
-
Verify if custom Maven settings are configuredCheck Jenkins configuration for custom Maven settings.xml path or inline settings containing credentials - look in Manage Jenkins > Configure System > Maven section or in Pipeline Maven Integration plugin configurationAffected if Custom Maven settings.xml is configured and contains <server> entries with credentials
-
Inspect Maven settings for credentials marked as secretOpen the configured Maven settings.xml file and examine <server> entries for <username> and <password> elements, noting which credentials are intended to be treated as secretAffected if The settings.xml contains server credentials where the username is intended to be masked as a secret
-
Examine recent Pipeline build logs for plaintext usernamesNavigate to a recent Pipeline build that used Maven, view the build log output, and search for Maven-related sections - look for any server usernames appearing in plaintext where asterisks would be expectedAffected if Build logs show usernames in plaintext that should have been masked with asterisks (such as in Maven download messages or repository authentication lines)
You are affected if the Pipeline Maven Integration Plugin is at version 1330.v18e473854496 or lower AND custom Maven settings with secret credentials are used in builds, as evidenced by plaintext usernames appearing in build logs where asterisks should appear.

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 Jenkins Pipeline Maven Integration Plugin to a version newer than 1330.v18e473854496 once available, and review/rotate any credentials whose usernames may have been exposed in historical build logs.
