Contrast Continuous Application Security Plugin 3.9 and earlier does not escape data returned from the Contrast service when generating a report.

This results in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers able to control or modify Contrast service API responses.

Contrast Continuous Application Security Plugin 3.10 escapes the affected data.
