Deeper analysis

The Jenkins Build Monitor View Plugin version 1.14-860.vd06ef2568b_3f and earlier contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-28156. The root cause is insufficient escaping of Build Monitor View names, which are persisted and later rendered without sanitization, allowing script injection under CWE-79. The issue carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 5.4.

Attackers who can configure Build Monitor Views are able to store malicious payloads that execute in the browsers of other users who view the affected pages, resulting in limited impacts to confidentiality and integrity with no availability effect.

The Jenkins security advisory published on 2024-03-06 along with the corresponding oss-security mailing list postings describe the flaw and direct administrators to the plugin update that resolves SECURITY-3280. The associated EPSS score has reached a peak of 0.4462 with a current value of 0.3890.
