CVE-2019-1003038: High severity jenkins repository connector vulnerability
An insufficiently protected credentials vulnerability exists in Jenkins Repository Connector Plugin 1.2.4 and earlier in src/main/java/org/jvnet/hudson/plugins/repositoryconnector/ArtifactDeployer.java, src/main/java/org/jvnet/hudson/plugins/repositoryconnector/Repository.java, src/main/java/org/jvnet/hudson/plugins/repositoryconnector/UserPwd.java that allows an attacker with local file system access or control of a Jenkins administrator's web browser (e.g. malicious extension) to retrieve the password stored in the plugin configuration.
Other sources
Jenkins Repository Connector Plugin stored the username and password in its configuration unencrypted in its global configuration file on the Jenkins controller. This password could be viewed by users with access to the Jenkins controller file system.
The plugin now stores the password encrypted in the configuration files on disk and no longer transfers it to users viewing the configuration form in plain text.
