CVE-2020-7656

jquery prior to 1.9.0 allows Cross-site Scripting attacks via the load method.

MEDIUM 6.1EPSS 6.27%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (6.27%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

jquery prior to 1.9.0 allows Cross-site Scripting attacks via the load method. 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.
