Description Michael Kaplan 2020-06-23 15:07:57 UTC
jquery prior to 1.9.0 allows Cross-site Scripting attacks via the load method. The load method fails to recognize and remove "<script>" HTML tags that contain a whitespace character, i.e: "</script >", which results in the enclosed script logic to be executed.

OpenShift ServiceMesh includes jquery versions not vulnerable to this flaw:
  - kiali jquery v3.5.0

Comment 9 Yadnyawalk Tale 2020-06-25 10:46:18 UTC
Removing Satellite 5 from affects list since it is EOL.

Comment 10 Yadnyawalk Tale 2020-06-25 11:00:35 UTC
CloudForms do not use version less than 1.9.0 hence not affected.

[ytale@cordelia]# grep -inr "jQuery JavaScript Library v"
 jquery.js:2: * jQuery JavaScript Library v1.12.4
 jquery2.js:2: * jQuery JavaScript Library v2.2.4
 jquery3.js:2: * jQuery JavaScript Library v3.4.1

Comment 11 Jason Shepherd 2020-06-25 22:19:21 UTC
All OpenShift Container Platform components which include jQuery include a version later than 1.9.0 and are therefore unaffected by this flaw.

Comment 12 Hardik Vyas 2020-06-26 13:20:39 UTC
Non of the storage products include affected version of jQuery, hence not affected by this flaw.

Ceph-3 grafana : jquery-3.3.1
Ceph-3 grafana-container : jquery-3.3.1
Ceph-4 grafana-container : jquery-3.3.1
Gluster grafana-4.6.4-1.el7rhgs : jquery-3.2.1

Comment 13 Stoyan Nikolov 2020-06-30 06:56:22 UTC
RHEV-M projects use jquery 3.4.1 thus not affected

Comment 19 Cedric Buissart 2020-10-08 09:13:01 UTC

Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 6, 7 and 8 ship a vulnerable version of JQuery in the `pcs` component. However the vulnerable has not been found to be exploitable in reasonable scenarios. A future update may update JQuery to a fixed version.
