MEDIUMJenkins Kubernetes Plugin does not properly mask credentials
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description
Multiple Jenkins plugins do not properly mask (i.e., replace with asterisks) credentials printed in the build log from Pipeline steps like sh and bat, when both of the following conditions are met:
-
The credentials are printed in build steps executing on an agent (typically inside a node block).
-
Push mode for durable task logging is enabled. This is a hidden option in Pipeline: Nodes and Processes that can be enabled through the Java system property org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.steps.durable_task.DurableTaskStep.USE_WATCHING. It is also automatically enabled by some plugins, e.g., OpenTelemetry and Pipeline Logging over CloudWatch.
The following plugins are affected by this vulnerability:
-
Kubernetes 3909.v1f2c633e8590 and earlier (SECURITY-3079 / CVE-2023-30513)
-
Azure Key Vault 187.va_cd5fecd198a_ and earlier (SECURITY-3051 / CVE-2023-30514)
-
Thycotic DevOps Secrets Vault 1.0.0 (SECURITY-3078 / CVE-2023-30515)
The following plugins have been updated to properly mask credentials in the build log when push mode for durable task logging is enabled:
-
Kubernetes 3910.ve59cec5e33ea_ (SECURITY-3079 / CVE-2023-30513)
-
Azure Key Vault 188.vf46b_7fa_846a_1 (SECURITY-3051 / CVE-2023-30514)
As of publication of this advisory, there is no fix available for the following plugin:
- Thycotic DevOps Secrets Vault 1.0.0 (SECURITY-3078 / CVE-2023-30515)

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.csanchez.jenkins.plugins:kubernetes. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update org.csanchez.jenkins.plugins:kubernetes to 3910.ve59cec5e33ea or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-v5hq-cqqr-6w4g 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-v5hq-cqqr-6w4g is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-v5hq-cqqr-6w4g. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-v5hq-cqqr-6w4g in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-v5hq-cqqr-6w4g across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
