Overview
CVE-2022-43419 affects the Katalon Plugin versions 1.0.32 and earlier for Jenkins. The vulnerability was disclosed on October 19, 2022, and involves the insecure storage of API keys in job configuration files (Jenkins Advisory, OSS Security).
Technical details
The vulnerability is classified as having Medium severity with a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 6.5. The issue stems from the plugin storing API keys unencrypted in job config.xml files on the Jenkins controller as part of its configuration (Jenkins Advisory).
Impact
The exposed API keys can be viewed by users with Item/Extended Read permission or anyone with access to the Jenkins controller file system, potentially leading to unauthorized access to Katalon services (Jenkins Advisory).
Mitigation and workarounds
The vulnerability has been fixed in Katalon Plugin version 1.0.33. The updated version no longer stores API keys directly, instead accessing them through its Credentials Plugin integration. Users must save affected job configurations again after updating for the fix to take effect (Jenkins Advisory).
