QID 995444: Rubygems (Rubygems) Security Update for jquery-ui-rails (GHSA-h6gj-6jjq-h8g9)

Initializing a checkboxradio widget on an input enclosed within a label makes that parent label contents considered as the input label. If you call .checkboxradio( "refresh" ) on such a widget and the initial HTML contained encoded HTML entities, they will erroneously get decoded. This can lead to potentially executing JavaScript code.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.
