Java vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

The Jenkins Cadence vManager Plugin vulnerability (CVE-2025-31724) was disclosed on April 2, 2025. This medium-severity vulnerability affects versions 4.0.0-282.v5096ac2db275 and earlier of the plugin, where Verisium Manager vAPI keys are stored unencrypted in job config.xml files on the Jenkins controller (Jenkins Advisory).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from the plugin storing sensitive Verisium Manager vAPI keys in plaintext format within job config.xml files on the Jenkins controller. The issue is tracked as CWE-256 (Plaintext Storage of a Password) with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.3 (Medium), and vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N (NVD).

Impact

Users with Item/Extended Read permission or those who have access to the Jenkins controller file system can view these unencrypted API keys, potentially leading to unauthorized access to Verisium Manager services (Jenkins Advisory, Security Online).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability has been fixed in Cadence vManager Plugin version 4.0.1-286.v9e25a740ba_48. After updating to this version, the Verisium Manager vAPI keys will be stored in encrypted format once affected job configurations are saved again (Jenkins Advisory).
