[org.jenkins-ci.plugins:hp-application-automation-tools-plugin] Reflected XSS vulnerability in Jenkins Micro Focus Application Automation Tools Plugin

Micro Focus Application Automation Tools Plugin 6.7 and earlier does not escape user input in a form validation response.

This results in a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

Micro Focus Application Automation Tools Plugin 6.8 escapes user input in the affected form validation response.

A security hardening since Jenkins 2.275 and LTS 2.263.2 prevents exploitation of this vulnerability.
