Overview

CVE-2020-2126 affects the Jenkins DigitalOcean Plugin versions 1.1 and earlier. The vulnerability was disclosed on February 12, 2020, and involves the insecure storage of authentication tokens in the plugin's configuration files (Jenkins Advisory, NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as Low severity with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.3 MEDIUM (Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N). The issue stems from the plugin storing authentication tokens unencrypted in the global config.xml files as part of its configuration (Jenkins Advisory).
