NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jenkins package and not the jenkins package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

Jenkins 2.270 through 2.393 (both inclusive), LTS 2.277.1 through 2.375.3 (both inclusive) does not escape the Jenkins version a plugin depends on when rendering the error message stating its incompatibility with the current version of Jenkins, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers able to provide plugins to the configured update sites and have this message shown by Jenkins instances.
