DescriptionCVE.org

Jenkins Customizable Header Plugin 295.v2544b_ca_19b_97 and earlier allows overwriting the plugin's appearance configuration through Stapler data binding, allowing attackers to configure a custom SVG icon containing inline JavaScript, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

Because the header renders on every Jenkins page, a single write operation by a low-privileged attacker broadly affects all platform users, including administrators. …
