CVE-2016-7103: XSS

First published: Wed Mar 15 2017(Updated: )

Affected versions of `jquery-ui` are vulnerable to a cross-site scripting vulnerability when arbitrary user input is supplied as the value of the `closeText` parameter in the `dialog` function. jQuery-UI is a library for manipulating UI elements via jQuery. Version 1.11.4 has a cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the `closeText` parameter of the `dialog` function. If your application passes user input to this parameter, it may be vulnerable to XSS via this attack vector. ## Recommendation Upgrade to jQuery-UI 1.12.0 or later.
