medium Web App Scanning Plugin ID 112375

Synopsis

Bootstrap 3.x < 3.4.1 Cross-Site Scripting

Description

According to its self-reported version number, Bootstrap is 3.x prior 3.4.1 or 4.x prior to 4.3.1. Therefore, it may be affected by a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability via data-template attribute for tooltip and popover plugins.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Bootstrap version 3.4.1 or later.
