No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

Jenkins Dashboard View Plugin 2.15 and earlier does not escape URLs referenced in Image Dashboard Portlets, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers with View/Configure permission.
