Cross-Site Scripting in jquery.json-viewer

Quick fix

GHSA-v9wp-8r97-v6xg — jquery.json-viewer: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

npm install jquery.json-viewer@1.3.0

Details

Versions of `jquery.json-viewer` prior to 1.3.0 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The package insufficiently sanitizes user input when creating links, and concatenates the user input in an `<a>` tag. This allows attackers to create malicious links with JSON payloads such as: ``` { "foo": "https://bar.com\" onmouseover=alert('xss') \"" } ```

This may lead to arbitrary JavaScript execution in a victim's browser.

## Recommendation

Upgrade to version 1.3.0 or later.
