CVE-2020-2230 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting Jenkins 2.251 and earlier, and LTS 2.235.3 and earlier. It arises from improper escaping of the project naming strategy description, allowing malicious scripts to be injected. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.4 (Medium), indicating it can be exploited over the network with low attack complexity, requiring user interaction and low privileges, potentially leading to low impact on confidentiality and integrity.
