How to Fix CVE-2023-30515

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

io.jenkins.plugins:thycotic-devops-secrets-vault fixed: Latest secure release
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.jenkins.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>thycotic-devops-secrets-vault</artifactId>
    <version>Latest secure release</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=io.jenkins.plugins

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2023-30515, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=io.jenkins.plugins

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

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=io.jenkins.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-319: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information, where the product transmits sensitive or security-critical data in cleartext in a communication channel that can be sniffed by unauthorized actors. In Thycotic devops secrets vault, 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

Multiple Jenkins plugins do not properly mask (i.e., replace with asterisks) credentials printed in the build log from Pipeline steps like sh and bat, when both of the following conditions are met: - The credentials are printed in build steps executing on an agent (typically inside a node block). - Push mode for durable task logging is enabled. This is a hidden option in Pipeline: Nodes and Processes that can be enabled through the Java system property org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.steps.durable_task.DurableTaskStep.USE_WATCHING. It is also automatically enabled by some plugins, e.g., OpenTelemetry and Pipeline Logging over CloudWatch. The following plugins are affected by this vulnerability: - Kubernetes 3909.v1f2c633e8590 and earlier (SECURITY-3079 / CVE-2023-30513) - Azure Key Vault 187.va_cd5fecd198a_ and earlier (SECURITY-3051 / CVE-2023-30514) - Thycotic DevOps Secrets Vault 1.0.0 (SECURITY-3078 / CVE-2023-30515) The following plugins have been updated to properly mask credentials in the build log when push mode for durable task logging is enabled: - Kubernetes 3910.ve59cec5e33ea_ (SECURITY-3079 / CVE-2023-30513) - Azure Key Vault 188.vf46b_7fa_846a_1 (SECURITY-3051 / CVE-2023-30514) As of publication of this advisory, there is no fix available for the following plugin: - Thycotic DevOps Secrets Vault 1.0.0 (SECURITY-3078 / CVE-2023-30515)
