Synopsis

jQuery 3.0.0-rc.1 Denial of Service

Description

According to its self-reported version number, jQuery is 3.0.0-rc.1. Therefore, it may be affected by a denial of service vulnerability due to an infinite recursion on non-lowercase attribute getters.

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 jQuery version 3.0.0 or later.
