CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:NCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2023-30520 is a medium-severity Cross-site Scripting (CWE-79) vulnerability in Jenkins Quay.Io Trigger. Its CVSS base score is 5.4 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Protocol or Service Impersonation (T1001.003); ranked at the 40th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
The Jenkins Quay.io trigger Plugin version 0.1 and earlier contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to restrict URL schemes on repository homepage URLs received through Quay.io trigger webhooks. The affected component is the webhook processing logic within this Jenkins plugin, which directly incorporates unvalidated input into stored pages.
Attackers who can submit crafted Quay.io trigger webhook payloads are able to exploit the flaw to achieve stored XSS, allowing execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of other users who view the affected Jenkins pages. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 5.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and required privileges combined with user interaction.
The Jenkins security advisory SECURITY-2850, published on 2023-04-12, addresses the issue and is referenced alongside related disclosures on the Openwall mailing list. No further mitigation details such as specific configuration changes or workarounds are provided in the available references.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Penetration testing submits XSS payloads to web applications, detecting cross-site scripting flaws for subsequent remediation.
Validates web inputs to reject script-related content that could produce XSS.
Output validation against expected content can reject or sanitize script content in generated web pages, reducing XSS exploitability.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly target introduction of XSS via coding standards/testing (mostly), yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors unaddressed (partial).
Patching and EOL replacement can remediate known XSS instances in libraries or frameworks (partial) but do nothing to enforce input neutralization in application code (none).
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
A.5.6 only promotes membership in groups to improve knowledge, receive alerts, and share information; it performs no action that stops XSS exploitation (or even the underlying neutralization defect) and is a pure dependency for other controls per the owner's labeling rule.
