Jenkins JUnit Plugin subject to Cross-site Scripting via URL conversion

  • Disclosed: 16.11.2022
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 11:22

JUnit Plugin 1159.v0b_396e1e07dd and earlier converts HTTP(S) URLs in test report output to clickable links.

This is done in an unsafe manner, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers with Item/Configure permission.

JUnit Plugin 1160.vf1f01a_a_ea_b_7f no longer converts URLs to clickable links.
