CVE-2022-41229
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 NS-ND Integration Performance Publisher Plugin 4.8.0.134 and earlier does not escape configuration options of the Execute NetStorm/NetCloud Test build step, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers with Item/Configure permission.
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 NS-ND Integration Performance Publisher Plugin versions 4.8.0.134 and earlier fail to properly escape/sanitize configuration options for the 'Execute NetStorm/NetCloud Test' build step. This allows a stored XSS payload to be injected via these configuration fields. When other users view the job configuration, the malicious JavaScript executes within their session.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check if NS-ND Integration Performance Publisher plugin is installedNavigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Installed tab and search for 'NS-ND Integration Performance Publisher' or use the Jenkins script console: Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.plugins.find{it.shortName=='ns-nd-integration-performance-publisher'}?.versionAffected if Plugin is installed and version is 4.8.0.134 or earlier
-
Identify jobs using the Execute NetStorm/NetCloud Test build stepUse Jenkins script console to search: Jenkins.instance.allItems.findAll{job -> job.allActions.any{action -> action.class.name.contains('NetStormNetCloudTest')}} or manually review job configurations for this build step typeAffected if Any job in the instance uses the Execute NetStorm/NetCloud Test build step
-
Inspect job configuration XML for injected scriptsNavigate to a job using the build step, go to Configure, view the source XML (or use /job/[name]/config.xml API), and examine fields in the netStormNetCloudTest section for script tags, event handlers, or suspicious encoded contentAffected if Configuration contains JavaScript in any field (src, arguments, or other parameters) that could execute when the page loads
You are affected if the NS-ND Integration Performance Publisher plugin version is 4.8.0.134 or earlier AND any job in your instance uses the Execute NetStorm/NetCloud Test build step with potentially malicious configuration values.

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 the NS-ND Integration Performance Publisher Plugin to a version newer than 4.8.0.134. Until then, restrict Item/Configure permission to trusted users only and audit existing job configurations for suspicious payloads.
