Severity ?
6.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N
Summary
XSS in the `altField` option of the Datepicker widget in jquery-ui
Details

Impact

Accepting the value of the altField option of the Datepicker widget from untrusted sources may execute untrusted code. For example, initializing the datepicker in the following way: js $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker( { altField: "<img onerror='doEvilThing()' src='/404' />", } ); will call the doEvilThing function.

Patches

The issue is fixed in jQuery UI 1.13.0. Any string value passed to the altField option is now treated as a CSS selector.

Workarounds

A workaround is to not accept the value of the altField option from untrusted sources.
