Real-World Exposure
de.wellnerbou.jenkins:git-changelogReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Git Changelog Plugin stored MediaWiki and Jira passwords unencrypted in job config.xml files on the Jenkins controller. These passwords could be viewed by users with Extended Read permission, or access to the Jenkins controller file system.
Git Changelog Plugin now stores these passwords encrypted. Existing jobs need to have their configuration saved for existing plain text passwords to be overwritten.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for de.wellnerbou.jenkins:git-changelog, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update de.wellnerbou.jenkins:git-changelog to 2.18 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2019-10414 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
