CVE-2022-31044

25
FAUCET Score

CVE-2022-31044 is a critical vulnerability affecting Rundeck versions 4.2.0 and 4.2.1, where a misconfiguration in the Key Storage converter plugin could lead to credentials being stored in plaintext. This flaw, rated 7.5 HIGH on the CVSS scale, allows unauthenticated attackers to potentially read sensitive information (C:H) due to the encryption layer not being correctly enabled. While there is no known active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, the risk of plaintext credential exposure is substantial for affected deployments. Organizations using the vulnerable versions are strongly advised to upgrade to Rundeck 4.3.1 or later to re-encrypt any compromised values.
