Vulnerability library Issue in pod version 3.5.4 : -> jquery-1.11.0.min.js

[RamelRana]

Hi Team, I can see few vulnerability related to jquery-1.11.0.min.js having some older version library usage in GCDWebserver. Some details related to vulnerability issue:

1. jQuery before 3.0.0 is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks when a cross-domain Ajax request is performed without the dataType option, causing text/javascript responses to be executed.

Upgrade to version jQuery - v3.0.0
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2015-9251

2. jQuery before 3.4.0, as used in Drupal, Backdrop CMS, and other products, mishandles jQuery.extend(true, {}, ...) because of Object.prototype pollution. If an unsanitized source object contained an enumerable proto property, it could extend the native Object.prototype.

Upgrade to version 3.4.0

3. In jQuery versions greater than or equal to 1.2 and before 3.5.0, passing HTML from untrusted sources - even after sanitizing it - to one of jQuery's DOM manipulation methods (i.e. .html(), .append(), and others) may execute untrusted code. This problem is patched in jQuery 3.5.0.

4. In jQuery versions greater than or equal to 1.0.3 and before 3.5.0, passing HTML containing elements from untrusted sources - even after sanitizing it - to one of jQuery's DOM manipulation methods (i.e. .html(), .append(), and others) may execute untrusted code. This problem is patched in jQuery 3.5.0.

Upgrade to version jquery - 3.5.0

Please look into this and hopefully the things may resolve in upcoming version. let me know if more detail required for the same.

Thanks

`I have no plans upgrade jQuery, it's not an important component of GCDWebSever.
