CVE-2022-23108Network attack vector

Stored XSS via unescaped badge metadata

Published Jan 12, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Stored XSS in Jenkins Badge Plugin 1.9 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to run script in a viewer's browser via crafted badges. Badge creation neither escapes the supplied description nor restricts link URLs to allowed protocols, preserving attacker-controlled active content. Item/Configure permission is required to store the payload, and execution requires another user to view the affected badge.
