CVE-2020-7656: XSS

First published: Tue May 19 2020(Updated: )

A flaw was found in jquery in versions prior to 1.9.0. A cross-site scripting attack is possible as the load method fails to recognize and remove "<script>" HTML tags that contain a whitespace character which results in the enclosed script logic to be executed. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity.
