CVE-2016-10707: Denial of Service in jquery

January 22, 2018 (updated September 2, 2025)

Affected versions of jquery use a lowercasing logic on attribute names. When given a boolean attribute with a name that contains uppercase characters, jquery enters into an infinite recursion loop, exceeding the call stack limit, and resulting in a denial of service condition.
