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." } ] }, "problemtype" : { "problemtype_data" : [ { "description" : [ { "lang" : "eng", "value" : "n/a" } ] } ] }, "references" : { "reference_data" : [ { "name" : "https://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/11290", "refsource" : "MISC", "url" : "https://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/11290" }, { "name" : "https://github.com/jquery/jquery/commit/05531fc4080ae24070930d15ae0cea7ae056457d", "refsource" : "MISC", "url" : "https://github.com/jquery/jquery/commit/05531fc4080ae24070930d15ae0cea7ae056457d" }, { "name" : "https://snyk.io/vuln/npm:jquery:20120206", "refsource" : "MISC", "url" : "https://snyk.io/vuln/npm:jquery:20120206" }, { "name" : "102792", "refsource" : "BID", "url" : "http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/102792" } ] } }
