Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-70440 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Jenkins Qualys Container Scanning Connector Plugin. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. 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.\n2. 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.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-70440/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-70440/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-70440","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-70440/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-70440","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rmwj-785q-j3gv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Jenkins plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Stored XSS in Jenkins Qualys Container Scanning Connector Plugin allows attackers with configure permissions to execute scripts in user browsers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jenkins","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Jenkins Qualys Container Scanning Connector Plugin 1.8.0.5 and earlier does not escape user-controlled field values in a JavaScript context, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers with Item/Configure permission.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Jenkins Qualys Container Scanning Connector Plugin","id":"CVE-2026-70440","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Jenkins Summary Display Plugin","id":"CVE-2026-70441"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in Jenkins XML Job to Job DSL Plugin","id":"CVE-2026-70439"},"products":["Jenkins Qualys Container Scanning Connector Plugin"],"published":"2026-08-05","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-05","vendors":["Jenkins Project"]},"summary":"Stored XSS in Jenkins Qualys Container Scanning Connector Plugin allows attackers with configure permissions to execute scripts in user browsers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-70440/"}
