jQuery UI < 1.13.0 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its self-reported version number, jQuery UI is prior to 1.13.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the altField option of the Datepicker widget (CVE-2021-41182)

- A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in *Text options of the Datepicker widget (CVE-2021-41183)

- A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the of option of the .position() util (CVE-2021-41184)

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to jQuery UI version 1.13.0 or later.
