Impact

The vulnerability allows attackers with Item/Configure permission to execute stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks through maliciously crafted parameter names and descriptions. Exploitation requires that parameters are listed on pages like 'Build With Parameters' or 'Parameters' pages, and that those pages are not hardened against XSS attacks (Jenkins Advisory).

Mitigation and workarounds

As of the advisory publication on May 17, 2022, there was no fix available for the vboxwrapper Plugin version 1.3 and earlier. Users are advised to monitor for updates and implement general XSS protection measures (Jenkins Advisory).
