Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems directly from using jQuery
<3.5.0. The advisory explicitly calls out DOM manipulation methods like html()
and append()
as vulnerable vectors. OctoberCMS's commit 5c7ba9f patches this by updating jQuery
files, confirming the vulnerability resides in these bundled JS
files. While no OctoberCMS PHP
functions are explicitly listed, the frontend JS
dependencies (jQuery
methods) are the attack surface. The high confidence comes from: 1) Direct reference to jQuery
's CVE-2020-11022
in the advisory, 2) Patch clearly updating jQuery
files, and 3) Vulnerability mechanism being well-documented in jQuery
's own security guidance.
