LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
Jenkins Job Configuration History Plugin 1227.v7a_79fc4dc01f and earlier lacks restriction on the 'name' query parameter, enabling path traversal and stored XSS.
Vulnerability
Job Configuration History Plugin 1227.v7a_79fc4dc01f and earlier does not restrict the 'name' query parameter when rendering a history entry [1][3]. This allows attackers to have Jenkins render a manipulated configuration history that was not created by the plugin [1].
Exploitation
A path traversal vulnerability combined with insufficient sanitization of the timestamp value in history entries results in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability [1]. Attackers need the ability to create a file on the Jenkins controller (e.g., via archived artifacts) to exploit this issue [1].
Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts into the history view, leading to stored XSS attacks that can compromise the Jenkins instance [1][2].
Mitigation
The vulnerability is fixed in Job Configuration History Plugin version 1229.v3039470161a_d [1][2]. Users should upgrade immediately. No workarounds are mentioned.
