CVE-2012-6708

Vulnerable Library - jquery-1.8.1.min.js

JavaScript library for DOM operations

Library home page: https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.1/jquery.min.js

Path to vulnerable library: /js/jquery.min.js,/js/jquery.min.js

Dependency Hierarchy:

• ❌ jquery-1.8.1.min.js (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: modern

Vulnerability Details

jQuery before 1.9.0 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The jQuery(strInput) function does not differentiate selectors from HTML in a reliable fashion. In vulnerable versions, jQuery determined whether the input was HTML by looking for the '<' character anywhere in the string, giving attackers more flexibility when attempting to construct a malicious payload. In fixed versions, jQuery only deems the input to be HTML if it explicitly starts with the '<' character, limiting exploitability only to attackers who can control the beginning of a string, which is far less common.
