The Jenkins Zoho QEngine Plugin (versions < 1.0.31.v4a) is vulnerable to an information disclosure issue due to the unmasking of API keys in the plugin’s form field. This vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-XXXX, allows attackers to capture sensitive API keys by observing the form field values. The API keys are used to authenticate and interact with Zoho QEngine services, and their exposure could lead to unauthorized access to Zoho QEngine functionalities. The issue arises because the plugin fails to implement proper masking mechanisms for sensitive input fields, making it easier for attackers to exploit this oversight.
The vulnerability was discovered and reported to the GitHub Advisory Database on March 19, 2025, and later updated on March 20, 2025. The patched version, 1.0.31.v4a_b_1db_6d6a_f2, addresses this issue by masking the API key field, thereby preventing unauthorized observation and capture.
DailyCVE Form:
Platform: Jenkins
Version: < 1.0.31.v4a
Vulnerability: Information Disclosure
Severity: Moderate
Date: Mar 19, 2025
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
- Attackers can intercept API keys by inspecting the plugin’s form fields.
- Use browser developer tools or network sniffing to capture unmasked API keys.
- Exploit captured keys to gain unauthorized access to Zoho QEngine services.
Protection:
1. Upgrade to the patched version 1.0.31.v4a_b_1db_6d6a_f2.
- Implement input masking for sensitive fields in Jenkins plugins.
- Restrict access to Jenkins instances to trusted users only.
Commands:
1. Check Jenkins plugin version:
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080/ list-plugins | grep Zoho
2. Update Jenkins plugin:
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080/ install-plugin Zoho_QEngine:1.0.31.v4a_b_1db_6d6a_f2
Code:
- Example of masking sensitive fields in Jenkins plugins:
public String maskField(String input) { return input.replaceAll(".", ""); }
2. Validate API key exposure:
curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/jenkins/zoho-qengine/api | grep "API_KEY"
Analytics:
1. Monitor Jenkins logs for unauthorized access attempts:
tail -f /var/log/jenkins/jenkins.log | grep "Unauthorized"
2. Use intrusion detection systems (IDS) to flag suspicious API key usage.
3. Regularly audit Jenkins plugins for vulnerabilities.
By following these steps, users can mitigate the risk associated with CVE-2025-XXXX and secure their Jenkins instances.
