In jQuery starting with 1.12.0 and before 3.5.0, passing HTML from untrusted sources - even after sanitizing it - to one of jQuery's DOM manipulation methods (i.e. .html(), .append(), and others) may execute untrusted code. This problem is patched in jQuery 3.5.0.
CVE-2020-11022
Score elevated to 9.0 because EPSS predicts 99% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (top 0.1% of all CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 6.9 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.
