Date Published: 2023-11-01

QID 995794: Java (Maven) Security Update for org.webjars.npm: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.

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