Summary

jQuery 3.0.0-rc.1 is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) due to removing a logic that lowercased attribute names. Any attribute getter using a mixed-cased name for boolean attributes goes into an infinite recursion, exceeding the stack call limit.

  • nuget jQuery 3.0.0
  • maven org.webjars.npm:jquery 3.0.0
