CVE-2020-2225
Jenkins Matrix Project Plugin 1.16 and earlier does not escape the axis names shown in tooltips on the overview page of builds with multiple axes, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.04%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
