CVE-2020-2131
Jenkins Harvest SCM Plugin 0.5.1 and earlier stores passwords unencrypted in job config.xml files on the Jenkins master where they can be viewed by users with Extended Read permission, or access to the master file system.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.85%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
