Unencrypted Credential Storage Vulnerability in Jenkins SQL Change Automation Plugin

CVE-2019-16557

What is CVE-2019-16557?

The Jenkins Redgate SQL Change Automation Plugin versions up to 2.0.3 exhibit a security flaw wherein user credentials are stored in an unencrypted format within the job config.xml files. This configuration places sensitive information at risk, as individuals with Extended Read permissions, or those with direct access to the Jenkins master's filesystem, can potentially view these credentials. This could lead to unauthorized access to the Jenkins environment and associated data, thereby compromising the security posture of the affected systems.
