Vendor
CVE Published:
24 February 2021

Summary

The Jenkins Claim Plugin prior to version 2.18.1 is vulnerable to a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw. This vulnerability arises because the plugin does not properly escape user display names, allowing an attacker to inject malicious scripts. If an attacker can control user display names—either through the security realm or directly within Jenkins—they can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary scripts in the browsers of users viewing the affected content. This may lead to unauthorized actions or data theft.

Affected Version(s)

Jenkins Claim Plugin <= 2.18.1
