CVE-2019-16562
Jenkins buildgraph-view Plugin 1.8 and earlier does not escape the description of builds shown in its view, resulting in a stored XSS vulnerability exploitable by users able to change build descriptions.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.73%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
