https-nj.gov---CVE-2018-14040

Vulnearability Report of the New Jersey official site

In Bootstrap prior to 4.1.2, XSS is possible in the main collapse data attribute. The data-target attribute and the data-parent attribute is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting attacks.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

<button data-toggle="collapse" data-target="">Test</button>

RECOMMENDATION

The fix for this specific issue could be changing getTargetFromTrigger function:

return $(target) to:

return $(document.querySelector(target)) but it seems the same problem is present in other places too.

Here is another example:

<a href="" data-dismiss="alert">Test</a>
