How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 jquery to version 2.2.4+dfsg-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jquery package and not the jquery package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

jquery prior to 1.9.0 allows Cross-site Scripting attacks via the load method. The load method fails to recognize and remove "<script>" HTML tags that contain a whitespace character, i.e: "</script >", which results in the enclosed script logic to be executed.
