How to Fix CVE-2026-57287

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected JobConfigHistory dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

org.jenkins-ci.plugins:jobConfigHistory fixed: 1367 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jenkins-ci.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>jobConfigHistory</artifactId>
    <version>1367</version>
</dependency>
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jenkins-ci.plugins

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-57287, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jenkins-ci.plugins

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of JobConfigHistory in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1367), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jenkins-ci.plugins command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-312: Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information, where the product stores sensitive information in cleartext within a resource that might be accessible to another control sphere. In JobConfigHistory, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Jenkins Job Configuration History Plugin 1356.ve360da_6c523a_ and earlier does not redact the encrypted values of secrets when displaying historical job and agent configurations through its "View as XML" / "(RAW)" feature and its configuration diff views. This allows attackers with Item/Extended Read permission (but not Item/Configure permission) to view the encrypted values of secrets, such as build trigger tokens, that Jenkins would otherwise redact from the configuration shown to them. Job Configuration History Plugin 1367.vc8fa_b_15101dc redacts the encrypted values of secrets when displaying historical job and agent configurations through its "View as XML" / "(RAW)" feature and its configuration diff views to users lacking Item/Configure permission.
