How to Fix GHSA-g8q2-24jh-5hpc

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Jquery ui dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

jquery-ui fixed: 1.12.0 
npm install jquery-ui@1.12.0
jQuery.UI.Combined fixed: 1.12.0 
Upgrade jQuery.UI.Combined to 1.12.0
org.webjars.npm:jquery-ui fixed: 1.12.0 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.webjars.npm</groupId>
    <artifactId>jquery-ui</artifactId>
    <version>1.12.0</version>
</dependency>
jquery-ui-rails fixed: 6.0.0 
Upgrade jquery-ui-rails to 6.0.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls jquery-ui

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-g8q2-24jh-5hpc, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls jquery-ui

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Jquery ui in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.12.0), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls jquery-ui command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
