Description

Cross-site Scripting in Jenkins Job Configuration History Plugin

Jenkins Job Configuration History Plugin 1165.v8cc9fd1f4597 and earlier does not escape the job name on the System Configuration History page, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers able to configure job names.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. A user must be tricked into taking some action.

Weakness class

CVE-2022-38664 is classified as CWE-79: Cross-site Scripting (XSS). User-supplied data is written into a page without escaping, so attacker script runs in the browser of anyone who views it.
