Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions jquery.json-viewer versions 1.4.0 and earlier

Description The issue concerns the jquery.json-viewer library, which does not properly escape characters such as < in a JSON object. This is demonstrated by a SCRIPT element.

Recommendations For versions 1.4.0 and earlier, update to version 1.5.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the use of the jquery.json-viewer library until a patch is available. Restrict access to JSON objects that may contain unescaped characters to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the jquery.json-viewer library to parse JSON objects that may contain potentially malicious characters until the issue is resolved.
