How to Fix CVE-2025-53650

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Credentials binding 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:credentials-binding fixed: 687.689.v1a 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jenkins-ci.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>credentials-binding</artifactId>
    <version>687.689.v1a</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-2025-53650, 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 Credentials binding in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 687.689.v1a), 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-522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials, where the product transmits or stores authentication credentials, but it uses an insecure method that is susceptible to unauthorized interception and/or retrieval. In Credentials binding, 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 Credentials Binding Plugin 687.v619cb_15e923f and earlier does not properly mask (i.e., replace with asterisks) credentials present in exception error messages that are written to the build log. Credentials Binding Plugin 687.689.v1a_f775332fc9 rethrows exceptions that contain credentials, masking those credentials in the error messages.
