Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: jquery versions prior to 1.9.0

Description: The issue occurs because the main jquery function uses a regular expression to differentiate between HTML and selectors, but does not properly anchor the regular expression. This results in jquery potentially interpreting HTML as selectors when given certain inputs, allowing for client-side code execution.

Recommendations: Update to version 1.9.0 or later.
