Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Jenkins Sametime Plugin (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue concerns the storage of credentials in an unencrypted manner within the global configuration file on the Jenkins master or controller. Specifically, the credentials are stored in the hudson.plugins.sametime.im.transport.SametimePublisher.xml file. Users with access to the Jenkins controller or master file system can view these credentials.

Recommendations For the Jenkins Sametime Plugin, consider restricting access to the Jenkins controller file system to minimize the risk of credential exposure. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the hudson.plugins.sametime.im.transport.SametimePublisher.xml file until a more secure storage method for credentials is implemented. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
