How to Fix CVE-2020-2145

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Zephyr enterprise test management 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:zephyr-enterprise-test-management fixed: 1.10 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jenkins-ci.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>zephyr-enterprise-test-management</artifactId>
    <version>1.10</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-2020-2145, 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 Zephyr enterprise test management in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.10), 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 Zephyr enterprise test management, 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

Zephyr Enterprise Test Management Plugin 1.9.1 and earlier stores its Zephyr password in plain text in the global configuration file `com.thed.zephyr.jenkins.reporter.ZeeReporter.xml`. This password can be viewed by users with access to the Jenkins controller file system. Zephyr Enterprise Test Management Plugin 1.10 integrates with [Credentials Plugin](https://plugins.jenkins.io/credentials).
