GHSA-2pqj-h3vj-pqgw
Cross-Site Scripting in jquery
Quick fix
GHSA-2pqj-h3vj-pqgw — jquery: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install jquery@1.9.0Details
Affected versions of `jquery` are vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This occurs because the main `jquery` function uses a regular expression to differentiate between HTML and selectors, but does not properly anchor the regular expression. The result is that `jquery` may interpret HTML as selectors when given certain inputs, allowing for client side code execution.
## Proof of Concept ``` $("#log").html( $("element[attribute='<img src=\"x\" onerror=\"alert(1)\" />']").html() ); ```
## Recommendation
Update to version 1.9.0 or later.
