{"id":"CVE-2021-41184","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2021-41184","generatedAt":"2026-11-05T00:59:12.468Z","title":"Prior to version 1.13.0, accepting the value of the `of` option of the `.position()` util from untrusted sources may execute untrusted code.","description":"jQuery-UI is the official jQuery user interface library. Prior to version 1.13.0, accepting the value of the `of` option of the `.position()` util from untrusted sources may execute untrusted code. The issue is fixed in jQuery UI 1.13.0. Any string value passed to the `of` option is now treated as a CSS selector. A workaround is to not accept the value of the `of` option from untrusted sources.","published":"2021-10-26T15:15:10.000Z","lastModified":"2026-11-02T19:17:45.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"security-advisories@github.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":6.1,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-79"],"affected":["jqueryui/jquery ui","fedoraproject/fedora","netapp/h300s firmware","netapp/h500s firmware","netapp/h700s firmware","netapp/h300e firmware","netapp/h500e firmware","netapp/h700e firmware","netapp/h410s firmware","netapp/h410c firmware","drupal/drupal","tenable/tenable.sc","oracle/agile product lifecycle management","oracle/application express","oracle/banking platform","oracle/big data spatial and graph","oracle/communications interactive session recorder","oracle/communications operations monitor","oracle/hospitality inventory management","oracle/hospitality materials control","oracle/hospitality suite8","oracle/jd edwards enterpriseone tools","oracle/peoplesoft enterprise peopletools","oracle/policy automation","oracle/primavera unifier","oracle/rest data services","oracle/weblogic server"],"epss":{"score":0.40768,"percentile":0.98656,"date":"2026-11-03","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 40.8%, higher than 99% of all known CVEs.
