How to Fix CVE-2020-2095

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

com.redgate.plugins.redgatesqlci:redgate-sql-ci fixed: 2.0.5 
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.redgate.plugins.redgatesqlci</groupId>
    <artifactId>redgate-sql-ci</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.5</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=com.redgate.plugins.redgatesqlci

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2020-2095, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.redgate.plugins.redgatesqlci

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Redgate sql ci in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.0.5), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.redgate.plugins.redgatesqlci 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 Redgate sql ci, 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

Redgate SQL Change Automation Plugin 2.0.4 and earlier stores a NuGet API key unencrypted in job config.xml files as part of its configuration. This credential could be viewed by users with Extended Read permission or access to the Jenkins controller file system. This is due to an incomplete fix of [SECURITY-1598](https://www.jenkins.io/security/advisory/2019-12-17/#SECURITY-1598). Redgate SQL Change Automation Plugin 2.0.5 now stores the API key encrypted. Existing jobs need to have their configuration saved for existing plain text passwords to be overwritten.
