It affects the nervous system.

It affects both those systems along with many others. It effects the endocrine system, because the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland, both secreting organs in the endocrine system, are located in the brain. If a stroke were to occur in those regions, the hypothalamus or the pituitary gland would not be able to secrete the hormones needed to keep homeostasis. The brain also controls the nervous system. So, a stroke does affect both.

A stroke may affect the endocrine system if it damages brain tissue involved in endocrine function. For instance, a stroke may affect the tissues critical to the function of the hypothalamus or pituitary gland.
