HighCVSS 7.5 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.2% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 88.4% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: org.webjars.npm:jquery (Maven) 3.0.0; jquery (npm) 3.0.0; jQuery (NuGet) 3.0.0.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to org.webjars.npm:jquery (Maven) 3.0.0; jquery (npm) 3.0.0; jQuery (NuGet) 3.0.0 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

jQuery 3.0.0-rc.1 is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) due to removing a logic that lowercased attribute names. Any attribute getter using a mixed-cased name for boolean attributes goes into an infinite recursion, exceeding the stack call limit.
