Package : jqueryui
Version : 1.12.1+dfsg-5+deb10u1
CVE ID : CVE-2021-41182 CVE-2021-41183 CVE-2021-41184
CVE-2022-31160
Debian Bug : 1015982

jQuery-UI, the official jQuery user interface library, is a curated set
of user interface interactions, effects, widgets, and themes built on top
of jQuery were reported to have the following vulnerabilities.

CVE-2021-41182

jQuery-UI was accepting the value of the `altField` option of the
Datepicker widget from untrusted sources may execute untrusted code.
This has been fixed and now any string value passed to the `altField`
option is now treated as a CSS selector.

CVE-2021-41183

jQuery-UI was accepting the value of various `*Text` options of the
Datepicker widget from untrusted sources may execute untrusted code.
This has been fixed and now the values passed to various `*Text`
options are now always treated as pure text, not HTML.

CVE-2021-41184

jQuery-UI was accepting the value of the `of` option of the
`.position()` util from untrusted sources may execute untrusted code.
This has been fixed and now any string value passed to the `of`
option is now treated as a CSS selector.

CVE-2022-31160

jQuery-UI was potentially vulnerable to cross-site scripting.
Initializing a checkboxradio widget on an input enclosed within a
label makes that parent label contents considered as the input label.
Calling `.checkboxradio( "refresh" )` on such a widget and the initial
HTML contained encoded HTML entities will make them erroneously get
decoded. This can lead to potentially executing JavaScript code.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version
1.12.1+dfsg-5+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your jqueryui packages.
