Operationally, ranked in the top 2.5% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
The vulnerability CVE-2024-54003 is a stored cross-site scripting flaw affecting the Jenkins Simple Queue Plugin in versions 1.4.4 and earlier. The root cause is the plugin's failure to escape the view name, which maps to CWE-79 and produces a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.0.
Attackers who possess View/Create permission can supply a crafted view name containing executable script. Because the payload is stored and later rendered for other users, successful exploitation can result in high-impact effects on confidentiality, integrity, and availability within the Jenkins instance.
The Jenkins project published an advisory at https://www.jenkins.io/security/advisory/2024-11-27/#SECURITY-3467 that documents the issue.
The associated EPSS score stands at 0.4112 with no material rise from a lower baseline.
