## What is CVE-2017-1000387?

CVE-2017-1000387 is a high-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 26 Jan 2018. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Jenkins Build-Publisher plugin version 1.21 and earlier stores credentials to other Jenkins instances in the file hudson.plugins.build_publisher.BuildPublisher.xml in the Jenkins master home directory. These credentials were stored unencrypted, allowing anyone with local file system access to access them. Additionally, the credentials were also transmitted in plain text as part of the configuration form. This could result in exposure of the credentials through browser extensions, cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, and similar situations.

Weakness: CWE-522 (Insufficiently Protected Credentials)

- org.jenkins-ci.plugins:build-publisher (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 1.22
- org.jenkins-ci.plugins:build-publisher (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 1.22

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
