Background
The Jenkins Pipeline Maven Integration Plugin is a component of the Jenkins automation server that allows users to define and manage Maven-based build pipelines. It provides integration with Maven settings, allowing users to specify custom settings for their Maven builds. This plugin is widely used in software development and continuous integration workflows.
Vulnerability Detail
The Jenkins Pipeline Maven Integration Plugin version 1330.v18e473854496 and earlier suffers from an improper masking of credentials vulnerability. When the "Treat username as secret" option is enabled, the plugin fails to properly mask usernames of credentials specified in custom Maven settings in Pipeline build logs. This means that the usernames are exposed in plain text in the build logs, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.3, indicating a moderate severity level.
