Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Jenkins. Affected versions of Jenkins do not escape the Jenkins version that a plugin depends on when rendering the error message stating its incompatibility with the current version of Jenkins in the plugin manager. This issue results in a stored Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability, exploitable by attackers able to provide plugins to the configured update sites and have this message shown by Jenkins instances.

Do we have any workaround for this ?

If we upgrade the Jenkins to latest version will it fix this issue ?
