A plaintext storage of a password vulnerability exists in Jenkins Coverity Plugin 1.10.0 and earlier in CIMInstance.java that allows an attacker with local file system access or control of a Jenkins administrator's web browser (e.g. malicious extension) to retrieve the configured keystore and private key passwords. The Coverity Plugin 1.11.0 integrates with Credentials Plugin to store passwords, and automatically migrates existing passwords.
