Descriptions

jQuery before 1.9.0 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The jQuery(strInput) function does not differentiate selectors from HTML in a reliable fashion. In vulnerable versions, jQuery determined whether the input was HTML by looking for the '<' character anywhere in the string, giving attackers more flexibility when attempting to construct a malicious payload. In fixed versions, jQuery only deems the input to be HTML if it explicitly starts with the '<' character, limiting exploitability only to attackers who can control the beginning of a string, which is far less common.

jQuery en versiones anteriores a la 1.9.0 es vulnerable a ataques de Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). La función jQuery(strInput) no diferencia selectores de HTML de forma fiable. En las versiones vulnerables, jQuery determinó si la entrada era HTML buscando el carácter "<" en cualquier lugar de la cadena, lo que facilita que los atacantes creen una carga útil maliciosa. En las versiones corregidas, jQuery solo considera que la entrada es HTML si empieza explícitamente por el carácter "<", lo que limita la explotabilidad a solo los atacantes que puedan controlar el inicio de una cadena, lo que suele ser mucho menos común.

Linksys EA7500 version 2.0.8.194281 suffers from a cross site scripting vulnerability due to an old jQuery version.
