Summary
XXL-JOB through 3.5.0-SNAPSHOT contains stored cross-site scripting (CWE-79) in the GLUE code editor. The save function stores the submitted glue source without output encoding, and the job code template renders it unescaped. An attacker with low privileges can store script that runs in the browser of a user who views the affected code, and exploitation requires user interaction.
