Root Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from unescaped display of file names in HTML contexts. Jenkins plugins typically use Jelly templates for UI rendering and Java classes for data handling. The combination of:

A helper method (FileAssociationHelper.getAssociatedFilesHTML) that directly outputs user-controlled filenames into HTML without escaping
Configuration view templates (config.jelly) that display these values using unsafe ${} expressions instead of escaped ${%} syntax creates the XSS vector. The pattern matches Jenkins' common XSS vulnerability patterns where user-controlled data enters the UI without proper sanitization.
