CVE-2022-34182 is a medium-severity Cross-site Scripting (CWE-79) vulnerability in Jenkins Nested View. Its CVSS base score is 6.1 (Medium).
Operationally, ranked in the top 7.3% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
Jenkins Nested View Plugin versions 1.20 through 1.25 are affected by a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability because the plugin does not escape search parameters, as tracked under CWE-79 with a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.1.
An unauthenticated attacker can supply a crafted URL containing malicious search parameters; when a user follows the link the injected script executes in the context of the Jenkins instance, allowing limited impacts on confidentiality and integrity without requiring authentication.
