View online: https://www.drupal.org/sa-core-2022-001

Project: Drupal core [1]
Date: 2022-January-19
Security risk: *Moderately critical* 14∕25
AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:Some/E:Proof/TD:Default [2]
Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

Description: 
jQuery UI is a third-party library used by Drupal. This library was
previously thought to be end-of-life.

Late in 2021, jQuery UI announced that they would be continuing development,
and released a jQuery UI 1.13.0 [3] version. As part of this 1.13.0 update,
they disclosed the following security issue that may affect Drupal 9 and 7:

  * CVE-2021-41183: XSS in the of option of the .position() util [4]

It is possible that this vulnerability is exploitable with some Drupal
modules. As a precaution, this Drupal security release applies the fix for
the above cross-site description issue, without making any of the other
changes to the jQuery version that is included in Drupal.

This advisory is not covered by Drupal Steward [5].

Solution: 
Install the latest version:

  * If you are using Drupal 9.3, update to Drupal 9.3.3 [6].
  * If you are using Drupal 9.2, update to Drupal 9.2.11 [7].
  * If you are using Drupal 7, update to Drupal 7.86 [8].

All versions of Drupal 8 and 9 prior to 9.2.x are end-of-life and do not
receive security coverage. Note that Drupal 8 has reached its end of life
[9].
