Error description

  • CVEID: CVE-2012-6708
    DESCRIPTION: jQuery before 1.9.0 is vulnerable to Cross-site
    Scripting (XSS) attacks. The jQuery(strInput) function does not
    differentiate selectors from HTML in a reliable fashion. In
    vulnerable versions, jQuery determined whether the input was
    HTML by looking for the '<' character anywhere in the string,
    giving attackers more flexibility when attempting to construct a
    malicious payload. In fixed versions, jQuery only deems the
    input to be HTML if it explicitly starts with the '<' character,
    limiting exploitability only to attackers who can control the
    beginning of a string, which is far less common.
    CVSS Base score: 6.1
    CVSS Temporal Score: See:
    https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/138055 for
    the current score.

    CVEID: CVE-2015-9251
    DESCRIPTION: jQuery before 3.0.0 is vulnerable to Cross-site
    Scripting (XSS) attacks when a cross-domain Ajax request is
    performed without the dataType option, causing text/javascript
    responses to be executed.
    CVSS Base score: 6.1
    CVSS Temporal Score: See:
    https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/138029 for

    CVEID: CVE-2019-11358
    DESCRIPTION: jQuery before 3.4.0, as used in Drupal, Backdrop
    CMS, and other products, mishandles jQuery.extend(true, {}, ...)
    because of Object.prototype pollution. If an unsanitized source
    object contained an enumerable __proto__ property, it could
    extend the native Object.prototype.
    CVSS Base score: 6.1
