Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability description explicitly states that annotation messages in tooltips are not escaped. In Jenkins
plugin architecture, tooltip rendering for static analysis annotations would typically be handled by methods in classes like AbstractAnnotationResult
. The getTooltip()
method (or similar) would be responsible for returning the raw message value without applying proper output encoding. This matches the CWE-79 pattern of improper neutralization during web page generation. The confidence is high because the vulnerability pattern directly maps to missing escaping in UI rendering functions for a core plugin component.
