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 · unedited
Jenkins Pipeline Aggregator View Plugin 1.13 and earlier does not escape a variable representing the current view's URL in inline JavaScript, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by authenticated attackers with Overall/Read 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 confidence

The Jenkins Pipeline Aggregator View Plugin versions 1.13 and earlier contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability where a variable representing the current view's URL is not escaped before being used in inline JavaScript, allowing authenticated attackers with Overall/Read permission to inject malicious scripts.

MitigationUpdate the Jenkins Pipeline Aggregator View Plugin to version 1.14 or later which properly escapes the URL variable; alternatively, restrict Overall/Read permission to trusted users until the patch can be applied.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Pipeline Aggregator View Plugin is installed
    Run the following in the Jenkins Script Console: Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.plugins.find{it.shortName == 'pipeline-aggregator-view'}?.displayName
    Affected if The plugin name appears in the output, indicating it is installed
  2. Check installed plugin version
    Run the following in the Jenkins Script Console: Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.plugins.find{it.shortName == 'pipeline-aggregator-view'}?.version
    Affected if The version returned is 1.13 or lower (or the version cannot be determined, meaning it is an unpatched release)
  3. Verify Overall/Read permission is active
    Navigate to Manage Jenkins > Manage Users and verify if any users or groups have Overall/Read permission; alternatively, check if anonymous read access is enabled under Manage Jenkins > Configure Global Security
    Affected if Overall/Read permission is granted to any user or group (this is the default for authenticated users, and anonymous read access is often enabled)

If the Pipeline Aggregator View Plugin version is 1.13 or earlier and Overall/Read permission is granted to any user (including authenticated or anonymous users), the environment is vulnerable to stored XSS via CVE-2023-28670.

Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 1.13
Interim mitigation

Update the Jenkins Pipeline Aggregator View Plugin to version 1.14 or later which properly escapes the URL variable; alternatively, restrict Overall/Read permission to trusted users until the patch can be applied.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Pipeline Aggregator View plugin version 1.14 or later
