CVE-2023-43499

Summary

CVE-2023-43499 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the Jenkins Build Failure Analyzer Plugin version 2.4.1 and earlier. The issue arises from the plugin's failure to properly escape Failure Cause names in build logs. This vulnerability allows attackers with the capability to create or modify Failure Causes to inject malicious scripts into other users' build pages, potentially leading to unauthorized account access or data theft when the affected page is visited. It is crucial for Jenkins users to update the plugin to a patched version to mitigate this risk.
