📄 Description (English)
Jervis is a library for Job DSL plugin scripts and shared Jenkins pipeline libraries. Prior to 2.2, the salt is derived from sha256Sum(passphrase). Two encryption operations with the same password will have the same derived key. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.2.
🤖 AI Executive Summary
Jervis library versions prior to 2.2 use a weak key derivation function where salt is derived from SHA256 of the passphrase, causing identical encryption keys for repeated passwords. This cryptographic weakness (CWE-326: Inadequate Encryption Strength) enables attackers to perform dictionary attacks and decrypt sensitive data in Jenkins pipeline configurations. Organizations using Jervis for CI/CD automation should immediately upgrade to version 2.2 or later.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia Impact Assessment
Saudi organizations leveraging Jenkins for CI/CD pipelines in government digital transformation initiatives (NCA, CITC), banking sector (SAMA-regulated institutions, fintech), and energy sector (ARAMCO, downstream operators) face significant risk. Encrypted credentials, API keys, and deployment secrets stored in Jervis-protected pipeline configurations could be compromised through cryptanalysis. The vulnerability particularly impacts organizations with shared Jenkins infrastructure serving multiple teams, where password reuse is common.

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
1. IMMEDIATE: Audit all Jenkins instances using Jervis library versions <2.2 via plugin manager and dependency scanning
2. INVENTORY: Document all encrypted secrets managed through Jervis (credentials, API keys, deployment tokens)
3. UPGRADE: Update Jervis to version 2.2 or later immediately
4. RE-ENCRYPT: After upgrade, rotate all previously encrypted secrets as they may be compromised
5. DETECTION: Implement log monitoring for Jenkins script console access and pipeline execution with Jervis operations
6. COMPENSATING CONTROL: Until patched, store sensitive credentials in external secret management systems (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager) instead of Jervis encryption
7. VALIDATION: Test pipeline functionality post-upgrade to ensure no regression in secret handling
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
1. فوري: تدقيق جميع مثيلات Jenkins التي تستخدم إصدارات Jervis <2.2 عبر مدير المكونات الإضافية والفحص التبعي
2. الجرد: توثيق جميع الأسرار المشفرة المدارة عبر Jervis (بيانات الاعتماد ومفاتيح API وتوكنات النشر)
3. الترقية: تحديث Jervis إلى الإصدار 2.2 أو أحدث فوراً
4. إعادة التشفير: بعد الترقية، قم بتدوير جميع الأسرار المشفرة سابقاً لأنها قد تكون مخترقة
5. الكشف: تنفيذ مراقبة السجلات لوصول وحدة تحكم نصوص Jenkins وتنفيذ خطوط الأنابيب مع عمليات Jervis
6. التحكم البديل: حتى يتم الإصلاح، قم بتخزين بيانات الاعتماد الحساسة في أنظمة إدارة الأسرار الخارجية (HashiCorp Vault، AWS Secrets Manager) بدلاً من تشفير Jervis
7. التحقق: اختبر وظائف خط الأنابيب بعد الترقية للتأكد من عدم وجود انحدار في معالجة الأسرار
