CVSS 3.1
6.1 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:NCVE-2020-7656
Medium (6.1). EPSS 6.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in jquery 1.9.0.
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.
