CVE NOT AVAILABLE CWE-79  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade bootstrap to version 2.1.0 or higher.

Overview

bootstrap is a popular front-end framework for developing responsive, mobile first projects on the web.

Affected versions of the package are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS). The html option for popovers/tooltips is unescaped when grabbed with jQuery's .attr() method. This may allow attackers to execute XSS attacks.
