CVE-2019-1003063: Jenkins Amazon SNS Build Notifier Plugin stores credentials unencrypted in its global configuration file on...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue exposes stored credentials because the Jenkins Amazon SNS Build Notifier Plugin kept them unencrypted in Jenkins global configuration. An attacker would already need access to the Jenkins master file system, but exposed credentials could create cloud or notification-service risk beyond Jenkins. Exposure is likely limited to Jenkins environments that installed the Amazon SNS Build Notifier Plugin and configured credentials. The practical access path is users or processes with Jenkins master file-system access, including administrators, compromised hosts, backups, or readable configuration copies. Treat as a focused secrets-exposure issue. Prioritize Jenkins systems connected to AWS or SNS workflows, especially where many users, agents, backup systems, or administrators can access controller files. Business urgency depends on the privilege of the exposed credentials. Mitigation focus: Inventory Jenkins instances for the Amazon SNS Build Notifier Plugin.; Check Jenkins advisory and plugin guidance for current replacement or update status.; Restrict Jenkins master file-system access to trusted administrators and service accounts..
