Jenkins Matrix Project Plugin 1.19 and earlier does not escape HTML metacharacters in node and label names, and label descriptions, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers with Agent/Configure permission.
CVE-2022-20615
This medium-severity CVE scores 5.4 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 2.9%, top 14% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High exploitation likelihood — EPSS 82%
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
