[org.jenkins-ci.plugins:gitea] Jenkins Gitea Plugin vulnerable to Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information

In Jenkins Gitea Plugin 1.4.4 and earlier, the implementation of Gitea personal access tokens did not support credentials masking, potentially exposing them through the build log.

Gitea Plugin 1.4.5 adds support for masking of Gitea personal access tokens.

Administrators unable to update are advised to use SSH checkout instead.
