Overview
The Credentials Plugin exposes an API for credential management. The API can be used by plugin authors to define credential types, integrate external credential stores with Jenkins and retrieve credentials those stores and existing stores and by users to manage credentials available in Jenkins.
Internal Credential Store
The plugin provides a default internal credential store, stored in $JENKINS_HOME.
If a non-trusted user can gain access to the files in the J$ENKINS_HOME/secrets directory, all the secrets stored in the internal credential store are compromised.
