Jenkins Fitnesse Plugin
Monthly
Plaintext credential storage in Jenkins FitNesse Plugin 1.36 and earlier exposes job-level passwords to any user holding Extended Read permission or with direct access to the Jenkins controller filesystem via job config.xml files. The flaw (CWE-256) means credentials configured within FitNesse jobs are persisted unobfuscated on disk and retrievable through the Jenkins UI without requiring elevated administrative rights. No public exploit has been identified and EPSS sits at 0.17% (7th percentile), indicating low opportunistic exploitation activity, though the impact is meaningful in environments where FitNesse jobs store sensitive credentials.
