SEVERITY
CVSS v3.x: 6.5 (Medium)
CVSS v2.0: 4.3 (Medium)
PATCHED VERSIONS
- >= 7.0.0
DESCRIPTION
Impact
Accepting the value of the altField option of the Datepicker
widget from untrusted sources may execute untrusted code. For
example, initializing the datepicker in the following way:
$("#datepicker").datepicker( {
altField: "<img onerror='doEvilThing()' src='/404' >",
} );
will call the doEvilThing function.
Patches
The issue is fixed in jQuery UI 1.13.0. Any string value passed to
the altField option is now treated as a CSS selector.
Workarounds
A workaround is to not accept the value of the altField option
from untrusted sources.
