IT just sent us the latest vulnerability report. Two dependencies need updating.

Hi all,

Our security team just flagged us for having outdated jQuery and Bootstrap.js.
Specifically, here are two excerpts from the vulnerability report. There were a few different hits returned for jQuery.

Bootstrap:
According to its self-reported version number, Bootstrap is 3.x prior 3.4.1 or 4.x prior to 4.3.1. Therefore, it may be affected by a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability via data-template attribute for tooltip and popover plugins.

jQuery:
According to its self-reported version number, jQuery is at least 1.2.0 and prior to 3.5.0. Therefore, it may be affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability via the regex operation in jQuery.htmlPrefilter.

Some notes about where this fix would need to go if anyone takes this on:

• There is a jQuery dependency in the apollo-jbrowse-plugin, see client/apollo/package.json
• There is vendored jQuery code in the grails app that gwt uses: grails-app/assets/javascripts/vendor
• There is vendored bootstrap code in the grails app that gwt uses: grails-app/assets/javascripts/vendor
