New Fix for jQuery Vulnerabilities: A security patch has been made for jQuery to mitigate ‘prototype pollution’ The problem has been acknowledged for a few years, but researchers are lately realizing that it has affected real-world Java use. As the use of Java expands beyond simple UI handling, the effects of such pollution are showing up in unexpected places. Fortunately, a backport of the needed changes has been done so that older versions of the tool may still be used. Upgrading may break existing apps, since there are format changes in the higher versions.”]
