Hello @wagnbeu0,

We generally don't immediately upgrade jQuery to ensure compatibility with older browsers. If you have any specifics as to which vulnerability in jQuery for the development team that would be appreciated.

That said, we're planning to upgrade this in the next release assuming we don't experience any issues in QA.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Hello,

Thanks for reporting this, the developers will need to upgrade/patch the version we include to resolve this, they expect it to be included in the next release of XI, both the 1.12.4 and 3.3.1 versions should be patched.
