Is Your jQuery Version a Security Risk?
Your WordPress site may be vulnerable to XSS attacks if it's using an outdated version of jQuery, specifically versions prior to 3.5.0. To check, inspect your page source and look for the jQuery version. If it's outdated, update the theme or plugin that's bundling it or remove the bundled copy. WordPress itself ships with a secure version of jQuery, so if only that's being loaded, you're likely fine. Check for updates in your WordPress dashboard for a straightforward solution.
