NVD Description

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

In jQuery versions greater than or equal to 1.0.3 and before 3.5.0, passing HTML containing <option> elements 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.
