## What is CVE-2017-1000386?

CVE-2017-1000386 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in n/a, published on 26 Jan 2018. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

Jenkins Active Choices plugin version 1.5.3 and earlier allowed users with Job/Configure permission to provide arbitrary HTML to be shown on the 'Build With Parameters' page through the 'Active Choices Reactive Reference Parameter' type. This could include, for example, arbitrary JavaScript. Active Choices now sanitizes the HTML inserted on the 'Build With Parameters' page if and only if the script is executed in a sandbox. As unsandboxed scripts are subject to administrator approval, it is up to the administrator to allow or disallow problematic script output.

Weakness: CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation)

What it is: CVE-2017-1000386 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting vulnerability in n/a, published on 26 Jan 2018. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-1000386 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- org.biouno:uno-choice (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.0
- org.biouno:uno-choice (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.0

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
