Jenkins Statistics Gatherer Plugin vulnerability exposes AWS Secret Key

Description

Jenkins Statistics Gatherer Plugin 2.0.3 and earlier stores the AWS Secret Key unencrypted in its global configuration file org.jenkins.plugins.statistics.gatherer.StatisticsConfiguration.xml on the Jenkins controller as part of its configuration.

This key can be viewed by users with access to the Jenkins controller file system.

Additionally, the global configuration form does not mask this key, increasing the potential for attackers to observe and capture it.

As of publication of this advisory, there is no fix.

Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:L)
Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
