CVE-2026-92136: Vulnerability in Jenkins Project Jenkins OWASP Dependency-Check Plugin
Jenkins OWASP Dependency-Check Plugin 5.6.4 and earlier does not escape CWE values from Dependency-Check reports on the Jenkins UI, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers with Item/Configure permission.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Jenkins OWASP Dependency-Check Plugin up to version 5.6.4 does not escape CWE values displayed on the Jenkins UI, leading to a stored XSS vulnerability. This flaw allows attackers with Item/Configure permission to inject malicious scripts via crafted Dependency-Check reports, which are then rendered in the Jenkins interface. The vulnerability is specific to the plugin's handling of report data and affects versions from 0 through 5.6.4 inclusive.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Item/Configure permission can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the Jenkins UI. This could lead to session hijacking, unauthorized actions within Jenkins, or other impacts typical of stored XSS vulnerabilities. There is no indication of active exploitation in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict Item/Configure permissions to trusted users only to reduce the risk of exploitation.
