Description
Versions of the package jquery-validation before 1.20.0 are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) in the showLabel() function, which may take input from a user-controlled placeholder value. This value will populate a message via $.validator.messages in a user localizable dictionary.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in the jquery-validation package, affecting versions prior to 1.20.0. The issue arises in the showLabel() function, which can be manipulated by user-controlled placeholder values. These values are inserted into messages via $.validator.messages, which can be localized by the user.
Upgrade jquery-validation to version 1.20.0 or higher. After updating, ensure to set the escapeHtml option to true in the validation configuration to mitigate the XSS risk.
