NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-ipatests package and not the python3-ipatests package as distributed by RHEL.

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.
