Description

Jenkins Credentials Binding Plugin prior to 1.27.1 and 1.24.1 does not perform a permission check in a method implementing form validation.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read access to validate if a credential ID refers to a secret file credential and whether it’s a zip file.

Credentials Binding Plugin 1.27.1 and 1.24.1 performs permission checks when validating secret file credentials IDs.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:credentials-binding, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:credentials-binding to 1.27.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2022-20616 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
