jQuery – CVE-2020-7656

Description

Kayran has detected that the version of the jQuery you use is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting attacks (XSS).
These attacks are enabled by using the “load” method.

The “load” method cannot recognize and remove “<script>” HTML tags that could possibly contain a whitespace character. For example: “</script >”.
This will cause scripts inserted by an attacker to be executed.

Severity/Score

CVSS Version 3.x – 6.1 Medium

Recommendation

Upgrade the version of the jquery you use.
Make sure you upgrade to version 1.9.0 or higher.
