CVE-2023-40346

Summary

CVE-2023-40346 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the Jenkins Shortcut Job Plugin version 0.4 and earlier. Malicious actors can exploit this issue by configuring shortcut jobs and injecting malicious scripts into the URL, which are not properly escaped by the plugin. Successful exploitation allows attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the victim's Jenkins instance, leading to potential unauthorized access, data theft, or further compromise. Upgrading to the latest plugin version or implementing URL input validation can help mitigate this risk.
