CVE-2016-10707
First published: Thu Jan 18 2018(Updated: )
Affected versions of `jquery` use a lowercasing logic on attribute names. When given a boolean attribute with a name that contains uppercase characters, `jquery` enters into an infinite recursion loop, exceeding the call stack limit, and resulting in a denial of service condition. ## Recommendation Update to version 3.0.0 or later.
