QID 981486

QID 981486: Nodejs (npm) Security Update for jquery (GHSA-q4m3-2j7h-f7xw)

Versions of `jquery` prior to 1.9.0 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting. The load method fails to recognize and remove "<script>" HTML tags that contain a whitespace character, i.e: "</script >", which results in the enclosed script logic to be executed. This allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's browser.


## Recommendation

Upgrade to version 1.9.0 or later.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.
