Impact Accepting the value of the of option of the .position() util from untrusted sources may execute untrusted code. For example, invoking the following code: js $( "#element" ).position( { my: "left top", at: "right bottom", of: "<img onerror='doEvilThing()' src='/404' />", collision: "none" } ); will call the doEvilThing() function.

Patches 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.

Workarounds A workaround is to not accept the value of the of option from untrusted sources.
