CVE-2022-34192
Published: 23 June 2022
Summary
CVE-2022-34192 is a medium-severity Cross-site Scripting (CWE-79) vulnerability in Jenkins Ontrack. Its CVSS base score is 5.4 (Medium).
Operationally, ranked in the top 6.8% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
The ontrack Jenkins Plugin versions 4.0.0 and earlier contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) because the plugin fails to escape the names of Ontrack: Multi Parameter choice, Ontrack: Parameter choice, and Ontrack: SingleParameter parameters when those parameters are rendered on views. The affected component is the Jenkins ontrack plugin, which integrates Ontrack build information into Jenkins jobs.
Attackers who possess Item/Configure permission can supply malicious parameter names that are stored and later executed in other users' browsers when the parameter views are displayed. Successful exploitation yields a CVSS 5.4 impact consisting of limited confidentiality and integrity effects within the Jenkins context, with the attack vector requiring user interaction.
The Jenkins security advisory published on 2022-06-22 under SECURITY-2784 addresses the issue and is the authoritative source for mitigation steps and any available updates.
EPSS for the CVE rose from lower values to a peak of 0.3160 on 2025-12-11 before receding to the current score of 0.0999, indicating that exploitation interest increased after the original disclosure.
