Deeper analysis
The Jenkins Environment Dashboard Plugin 1.1.10 and earlier contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to escape the Environment order and Component order configuration values when rendering views. This issue is tracked as CVE-2022-27213 with a CVSS 3.1 score of 5.4 and is classified under CWE-79.
Attackers who possess View/Configure permission can supply malicious values that are persisted and later executed in the browsers of other users who view the affected dashboard pages, resulting in limited impacts to confidentiality and integrity without requiring user interaction beyond normal page viewing.
