Summary

CVE-2025-64146 is a medium-severity Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data (CWE-311) vulnerability in Jenkins Curseforge Publisher. Its CVSS base score is 4.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Credentials In Files (T1552.001); ranked at the 6th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SC-28 (Protection of Information at Rest) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Jenkins Curseforge Publisher Plugin 1.0 stores API Keys unencrypted in job config.xml files on the Jenkins controller where they can be viewed by users with Item/Extended Read permission, or access to the Jenkins controller file system.

CWE(s)

Related Threats

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1552.001 Credentials In Files Credential Access
Adversaries may search local file systems and remote file shares for files containing insecurely stored credentials.
T1552.002 Credentials in Registry Credential Access
Adversaries may search the Registry on compromised systems for insecurely stored credentials.
Why these techniques?

The vulnerability stores API keys unencrypted in job config.xml files, directly enabling credential access from configuration files (T1552.001) and the Windows registry equivalent via file system access (T1552.002).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly requires encryption of sensitive data (API keys) stored at rest in config.xml files.

prevent

Enforces access decisions so that Item/Extended Read or file-system access does not expose plaintext credentials.

prevent

Limits the set of users granted permissions that allow reading job configuration containing secrets.

PR.DS-01 mostly match
prevents

PR.DS-01 directly mandates encryption for data-at-rest and therefore prevents CWE-311 mostly for storage, yet the weakness also spans transmission and other contexts that this single at-rest control leaves unaddressed.

PR.DS-02 partial match
prevents

PR.DS-02 directly eliminates the transmission facet of CWE-311 via mandatory encryption but leaves the storage facet untouched, so each direction rates only partial.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

prevents

Explicit rules requiring encryption for sensitive information in transit eliminate the weakness of sending data without cryptographic protection.

prevents

Explicitly calling for protection of data in transit and at rest, plus secure encryption of communications, drives the implementation of encryption that prevents clear-text exposure of sensitive information.
