Description
Deployer Framework Plugin is a framework plugin allowing other plugins to provide a way to deploy artifacts. Deployer Framework Plugin 1.2 and earlier does not escape the URL displayed in the build home page. This results in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by users able to provide the location.
The exploitability of this vulnerability depends on the specific implementation using Deployer Framework Plugin. The Jenkins security team is not aware of any exploitable implementation.
Deployer Framework Plugin 1.3 escapes the URL.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:deployer-framework, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:deployer-framework to 1.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2020-2227 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.
