Description

API keys stored in plain text by Jenkins Katalon Plugin

Jenkins Katalon Plugin 1.0.32 and earlier stores API keys unencrypted in job config.xml files on the Jenkins controller as part of its configuration.

These API keys can be viewed by users with Item/Extended Read permission or access to the Jenkins controller file system.

Katalon Plugin 1.0.33 no longer stores the API keys directly, instead accessing them through its [Credentials Plugin](https://plugins.jenkins.io/credentials) integration, once affected job configurations are saved again.
