CVE-2017-17383
Jenkins through 2.93 allows remote authenticated administrators to conduct XSS attacks via a crafted tool name in a job configuration form, as demonstrated by the JDK tool in Jenkins core and the Ant tool in the Ant plugin, aka SECURITY-624.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.15%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
