CVE-2020-2229 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting Jenkins versions 2.251 and earlier, and LTS 2.235.3 and earlier. This flaw arises because the tooltip content of help icons is not properly escaped, allowing malicious scripts to be injected and stored. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.4 (Medium), indicating it can be exploited over a network with low complexity, requiring user interaction, and potentially leading to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts. While not listed on the KEV catalog, exploit code is publicly available via ExploitDB (EDB-49232), though there is no evidence of active exploitation or significant community discussion.
