Summary
Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File in Jenkins Configuration as Code Plugin
Configuration as Code Plugin logs the changes it applies to the Jenkins system log. Secrets such as passwords should be masked (i.e. replaced with asterisks) in that log to prevent accidental disclosure. Configuration as Code Plugin inspects the type and looks for a field, getter, or constructor argument corresponding to the property, making the secret detection much more robust for the purpose of log message masking. This was implemented in the fix for SECURITY-1279 in the 2019-07-31 security advisory.
That fix was incomplete and did not cover a log message written to the logger io.jenkins.plugins.casc.impl.configurators.DataBoundConfigurator.
Configuration as Code Plugin now uses the same secret detection for these log messages.
As a workaround, administrators can configure the logging level of the logger io.jenkins.plugins.casc.impl.configurators.DataBoundConfigurator to a level that does not include these messages. Configuration as Code Plugin 1.25 and earlier logs these messages at the INFO level, Configuration as Code Plugin 1.26 logs them at FINE. See the logging documentation for details.
Impact
CVE-2019-10367 has a CVSS score of 5.5 (Medium). The vector is requires local access, low privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (1.27); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2019-10367? CVE-2019-10367 is a medium-severity security vulnerability in io.jenkins:configuration-as-code (maven), affecting versions <= 1.26. It is fixed in 1.27.
- How severe is CVE-2019-10367? CVE-2019-10367 has a CVSS score of 5.5 (Medium). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
- Which versions of io.jenkins:configuration-as-code are affected by CVE-2019-10367? io.jenkins:configuration-as-code (maven) versions <= 1.26 is affected.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2019-10367? Yes. CVE-2019-10367 is fixed in 1.27. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2019-10367 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2019-10367 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2019-10367 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
- How do I fix CVE-2019-10367? Upgrade
io.jenkins:configuration-as-codeto 1.27 or later.
