NVD Description

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

jQuery before 3.0.0 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks when a cross-domain Ajax request is performed without the dataType option, causing text/javascript responses to be executed.
