CVE-2025-53676
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 Xooa Plugin 0.0.7 and earlier stores the Xooa Deployment Token unencrypted in its global configuration file on the Jenkins controller, where it can be viewed by users with 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 Xooa Plugin versions 0.0.7 and earlier stores the Xooa Deployment Token in plaintext within its global configuration file on the Jenkins controller. Users with access to the Jenkins controller's file system can read this configuration file and obtain the unencrypted token.

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 Xooa plugin is installedNavigate to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab and search for 'Xooa' in the filter. Alternatively, check the plugin directory (typically $JENKINS_HOME/plugins/) for the xooa plugin folder.Affected if The Xooa plugin is present in the Jenkins installation
-
Identify the installed Xooa plugin versionIn the Installed Plugins page, locate the Xooa plugin and note the Version column. Compare this version number against the affected range (0.0.7 and earlier).Affected if The installed version is 0.0.7 or any lower version number
-
Locate the global configuration fileThe Xooa plugin stores its configuration in the Jenkins global configuration directory. Check the $JENKINS_HOME directory for configuration files related to Xooa, typically found within the Jenkins configuration XML files or a dedicated Xooa configuration file.Affected if A configuration file associated with the Xooa plugin exists in the Jenkins configuration directory
-
Inspect for plaintext credentialsOpen the Xooa configuration file (or search within Jenkins configuration XML files for 'Xooa' and 'token' strings). Look for the Xooa Deployment Token value stored in plain text without encryption indicators.Affected if The Xooa Deployment Token is stored in plaintext (visible alphanumeric string) within the configuration file without encryption wrapping or masking
A user is affected if the Xooa plugin version is 0.0.7 or earlier AND a plaintext Xooa Deployment Token is found in the Jenkins global configuration files.

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 Xooa Plugin that encrypts the token, or rotate any exposed tokens immediately. Additionally, restrict filesystem access to the Jenkins configuration directory to minimize exposure.
Update to latest available Xooa plugin version (check Jenkins plugin repository for version > 0.0.7)
- 1. Navigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins
- 2. Go to the 'Installed' tab
- 3. Search for 'Xooa' plugin
- 4. If an update is available, select the Xooa plugin and click 'Download now and install after restart'
- 5. After the update installs, restart Jenkins
- 6. Once updated, navigate to Manage Jenkins > Configure System > Xooa
- 7. Re-save the Xooa Deployment Token configuration to ensure it is now stored encrypted
- 8. If no update is available, rotate the exposed token immediately by generating a new token in the Xooa platform and updating the configuration
