QID 980084: Nodejs (npm) Security Update for jquery (GHSA-jpcq-cgw6-v4j6)

Security update has been released for jquery to fix the vulnerability.

Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Passing HTML containing `<option>` elements from untrusted sources - even after sanitizing them - to one of jQuery's DOM manipulation methods (i.e. `.html()`, `.append()`, and others) may execute untrusted code.

CVSS V3 rated as High - 6.1 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 4.3 severity.

Solution

This problem is patched in jQuery 3.5.0.Workaround:
To workaround this issue without upgrading, use [DOMPurify](https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify) with its `SAFE_FOR_JQUERY` option to sanitize the HTML string before passing it to a jQuery method.
