Real-World Exposure
org.jenkins.plugins.statistics.gatherer:statistics-gathererReal-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
Jenkins Statistics Gatherer Plugin 2.0.3 and earlier stores the AWS Secret Key unencrypted in its global configuration file org.jenkins.plugins.statistics.gatherer.StatisticsConfiguration.xml on the Jenkins controller as part of its configuration.
This key can be viewed by users with access to the Jenkins controller file system.
Additionally, the global configuration form does not mask this key, increasing the potential for attackers to observe and capture it.
As of publication of this advisory, there is no fix.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins.plugins.statistics.gatherer:statistics-gatherer, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
The records we use list no patched version of org.jenkins.plugins.statistics.gatherer:statistics-gatherer for CVE-2025-53655. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.
Mitigate without a patch
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.
