HighGHSA-mhpp-875w-9cpvCVE-2016-10707
Denial of Service in jquery
Published 22 Jan 2018 · Updated 2 Sept 2025
Affected package
jquerynpm
- Affected
- >=3.0.0-rc.1 <3.0.0
- Fixed in
- 3.0.0
Update to the fixed version for your release line, for example:
npm install jquery@3.0.0Details
Affected versions of jquery use a lowercasing logic on attribute names. When given a boolean attribute with a name that contains uppercase characters, jquery enters into an infinite recursion loop, exceeding the call stack limit, and resulting in a denial of service condition.
Recommendation
Update to version 3.0.0 or later.
Is GHSA-mhpp-875w-9cpv in any of your client repos?
Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected jquery, and gives you the command that fixes it.
