Description

Jenkins Credentials Plugin prior to 2.3.19, 2.3.15.1, 2.3.14.1, 2.3.13.1, 2.3.7.1, and 2.3.0.1 does not escape user-controlled information on a view it provides, resulting in a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

Jenkins Credentials Plugin 2.3.19, 2.3.15.1, 2.3.14.1, 2.3.13.1, 2.3.7.1, and 2.3.0.1 restricts the user-controlled information it provides to a safe subset.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
