CVE-2026-42524 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in Jenkins HTML Publisher Plugin affecting version 427 and earlier. The flaw is caused by improper escaping of the job name and URL in the plugin's legacy wrapper file. Because attacker-controlled values are written into content later rendered in Jenkins, a user with Item/Configure permission can store malicious script that executes when another user, including an administrator, views the published report or related page using the legacy wrapper.
