A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in jQuery up to 1.11.3/2.2.4 on Node.js (JavaScript Library). Affected is the function jQuery.globalEval. The manipulation as part of a Datatype leads to a cross site scripting vulnerability (DOM). CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-80. The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special characters such as "<", ">", and "&" that could be interpreted as web-scripting elements when they are sent to a downstream component that processes web pages. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Jquery is a javascript library for DOM traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax. When text/javascript responses are received from cross-origin ajax requests not containing the option `dataType`, the result is executed in `jQuery.globalEval` potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the origin. This affects Jquery >=1.4.0 <=1.11.3 || >=1.12.4 <=2.2.4.

The weakness was disclosed 06/04/2018 (Website). The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2017-16012 since 10/29/2017. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Successful exploitation requires user interaction by the victim. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. This vulnerability is assigned to T1059.007 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
