Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

European organizations should immediately audit Jenkins instances to identify usage of the Curseforge Publisher Plugin version 1.0 and assess exposure of API keys in job configurations. Restrict job configuration access strictly to trusted administrators and implement role-based access controls to minimize the number of users who can view or edit jobs. Consider disabling or removing the vulnerable plugin until a patched version is available. If removal is not feasible, manually mask or encrypt API keys outside of Jenkins job configurations or use Jenkins credentials management features that securely store and mask secrets. Regularly monitor Jenkins logs and audit trails for suspicious access or configuration changes. Educate Jenkins administrators about the risks of exposing API keys and enforce policies to avoid embedding sensitive credentials directly in job configurations. Stay updated with Jenkins security advisories for any forthcoming patches addressing this vulnerability.

Description

Jenkins Curseforge Publisher Plugin 1.0 does not mask API Keys displayed on the job configuration form, increasing the potential for attackers to observe and capture them.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to the confidentiality of API keys used within Jenkins environments leveraging the Curseforge Publisher Plugin. Exposure of these keys could allow attackers to interact with external services or APIs that the keys authenticate against, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or manipulation outside Jenkins. While the vulnerability itself does not directly affect system integrity or availability, compromised API keys can be leveraged for further attacks, including supply chain compromises or unauthorized deployments. Organizations with extensive Jenkins usage in software development or automation pipelines are at higher risk, especially if access controls are weak or if multiple users have job configuration privileges. The risk is exacerbated in environments where sensitive or critical infrastructure is managed via Jenkins pipelines. Given the medium severity and lack of known exploits, the immediate threat is moderate but should not be underestimated due to the potential for credential misuse.

CWE-311Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data (opens in a new tab)
Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighOWASP Top 10 A06:2025: Insecure Design (opens in a new tab)
The product does not encrypt sensitive or critical information before storage or transmission.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Requirements
Clearly specify which data or resources are valuable enough that they should be protected by encryption. Require that any transmission or storage of this data/resource should use well-vetted encryption algorithms.
Architecture and Design
Ensure that encryption is properly integrated into the system design, including but not necessarily limited to: Encryption that is needed to store or transmit private data of the users of the system; Encryption that is needed to protect the system itself from unauthorized disclosure or tampering
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
When there is a need to store or transmit sensitive data, use strong, up-to-date cryptographic algorithms to encrypt that data. Select a well-vetted algorithm that is currently considered to be strong by experts in the field, and use well-tested implementations.
