Outdated jQuery Library Allows Malicious Scripts to Run in Your Web App

medium

Your website uses an old version of jQuery (a common JavaScript tool) that has a known security flaw. If your site processes any HTML content from users or external sources, that content could contain hidden instructions that run automatically — without any warning. Upgrading jQuery to a modern version closes this gap.

Outdated jQuery Library Allows Malicious Tampering with Web Page Behaviour

medium

Your website uses an outdated version of jQuery (3.3.1), a popular JavaScript library. This version has a known flaw that could allow an attacker to tamper with how your web pages behave — but only if they can first get crafted data into a specific part of your site. Think of it like a faulty lock on an internal door: it's worth replacing, but someone still needs to get through the front door first.

Outdated Bootstrap Library Allows Script Injection via Button Components

medium

Your website uses an old version of Bootstrap (a popular design toolkit) that has a known security flaw. A specific button feature in this version doesn't properly filter out malicious code, meaning that if any user-supplied text ever reaches those buttons, it could run unwanted scripts in your visitors' browsers. Bootstrap 3 is also no longer maintained, so no official fix will be released for this version.

Outdated Bootstrap Library Contains Script Injection Weakness

medium

Your website uses an old version of Bootstrap (a popular design toolkit), which has a known weakness that could allow a malicious script to run in a visitor's browser under specific conditions. This requires an attacker to already be able to influence how your site's Bootstrap components are configured — it's not a direct, open door, but it is a gap worth closing. Upgrading Bootstrap to the patched version resolves it completely.
