Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedJenkins Subversion Partial Release Manager Plugin 1.0.1 and earlier does not escape the error message for the repository URL field form validation, resulting in a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Jenkins Subversion Partial Release Manager Plugin versions 1.0.1 and earlier contains a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The error message displayed during repository URL field form validation does not properly escape user-supplied input, allowing an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript that executes in the victim's browser when the validation error is rendered.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade to Jenkins Subversion Partial Release Manager Plugin version 1.0.2 or later which properly escapes error message output. If upgrade is not immediately possible, restrict access to Jenkins users with administrative privileges and avoid pasting untrusted URLs into the repository URL field.
