Descriptions

Rundeck is an open source automation service with a web console, command line tools and a WebAPI. The Key Storage converter plugin mechanism was not enabled correctly in Rundeck 4.2.0 and 4.2.1, resulting in use of the encryption layer for Key Storage possibly not working. Any credentials created or overwritten using Rundeck 4.2.0 or 4.2.1 might result in them being written in plaintext to the backend storage. This affects those using any `Storage Converter` plugin. Rundeck 4.3.1 and 4.2.2 have fixed the code and upon upgrade will re-encrypt any plain text values. Version 4.3.0 does not have the vulnerability, but does not include the patch to re-encrypt plain text values if 4.2.0 or 4.2.1 were used. To prevent plaintext credentials from being stored in Rundeck 4.2.0/4.2.1, write access to key storage can be disabled via ACLs. After upgrading to 4.3.1 or later, write access can be restored.

Rundeck es un servicio de automatización de código abierto con una consola web, herramientas de línea de comandos y una WebAPI. El mecanismo del plugin de conversión de almacenamiento de claves no estaba habilitado correctamente en Rundeck versiones 4.2.0 y 4.2.1, resultando en que el uso de la capa de cifrado para el almacenamiento de claves posiblemente no funcionara. Cualquier credencial creada o sobrescrita usando Rundeck versiones 4.2.0 o 4.2.1 podría resultar en que sea escrito en texto plano en el almacenamiento del backend. Esto afecta a los que usan cualquier plugin "Storage Converter". Rundeck versiones 4.3.1 y 4.2.2 han corregido el código y al actualizarlas volverán a encriptar los valores en texto plano. La versión 4.3.0 no presenta la vulnerabilidad, pero no incluye el parche para volver a cifrar los valores de texto plano si es usada la 4.2.0 o la 4.2.1. Para evitar que sean almacenadas credenciales en texto plano en Rundeck versiones 4.2.0/4.2.1, puede deshabilitarse el acceso de escritura al almacenamiento de claves por medio de ACL. Después de actualizar a versión 4.3.1 o posterior, puede restaurarse el acceso de escritura
