      Hello,

      I have the following pipeline stage, which works great:

      stage('Database') {
        steps {
          script {
            remote = createDeployRemote()
      
            withCredentials([
              usernamePassword(credentialsId: "credential-id", usernameVariable: 'THE_USERNAME', passwordVariable: 'THE_PASSWORD')
            ]) {
              sshCommand remote: remote,
                command: """
                  somecommand \
                    --username="${THE_USERNAME}" \
                    --password="${THE_PASSWORD}"
                """
            }
          }
        }
      }
      

      Jenkins complaints with the following warning:

      Warning: A secret was passed to "sshCommand" using Groovy String interpolation, which is insecure.
      
      Affected argument(s) used the following variable(s): [THE_USERNAME, THE_PASSWORD]
      
      See https://jenkins.io/redirect/groovy-string-interpolation for details.
      

      I've changed my code to the following:

      stage('Database') {
        environment {
          THE_CREDS = credentials("credential-id")
        }
      
        steps {
          script {
            remote = createDeployRemote()
      
            sshCommand remote: remote,
              command: """
                printenv
      
                somecommand \
                    --username="\$THE_CREDS_USR" \
                    --password="\$THE_CREDS_PSW"
              """
          }
        }
      }
      

      It seems that this plugin doesn't pass any of the environment variables to the remote machine.

      I think there should be an option to pass all or some pre-defined environment variables to `sshCommand`.
