      When I run a Jenkinsfile that has a sh step that uses an environment variable (such as a password) that has two $$ in a row, they get replaced with one $.

      Here's the steps to reproduce:
      1. Make a global credential id "foo", username "foo", password "bar$$baz"
      2. Use this Jenkinsfile:

      node('linux') {
    withCredentials([[$class: 'UsernamePasswordMultiBinding', credentialsId: 'foo', passwordVariable: 'PASSWORD', usernameVariable: 'USERNAME']]) {            
        echo "Username: ${env.USERNAME}"
        echo "Password: ${env.PASSWORD}"
        sh 'echo Username: $USERNAME, Password: $PASSWORD'
    }
}

      When the build runs, the echo steps properly echo the user/pass which are then masked. But the shell step doesn't mask the password, which is incorrect. It has lost a $

      [Pipeline] echo
Username: ****
[Pipeline] echo
Password: ****
[Pipeline] sh
[s_example] Running shell script
+ echo Username: ****, Password: bar$baz
Username: ****, Password: bar$baz
