Deeper analysis
Jenkins TestNG Results Plugin versions 730.v4c5283037693 and earlier contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability because the plugin fails to escape multiple values parsed from TestNG report files before displaying them on its test information pages. The affected component is the Jenkins TestNG Results Plugin, which processes and renders report data within the Jenkins continuous integration environment.
Attackers able to supply a crafted TestNG report file can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of other users who view the resulting test pages, enabling theft of credentials or other actions within the Jenkins context.
