Impact

Accepting the value of various *Text options of the Datepicker widget from untrusted sources may execute untrusted code. For example, initializing the datepicker in the following way:

$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker( {
	showButtonPanel: true,
	showOn: "both",
	closeText: "&lt;script&gt;doEvilThing( 'closeText XSS' )&lt;/script&gt;",
	currentText: "&lt;script&gt;doEvilThing( 'currentText XSS' )&lt;/script&gt;",
	prevText: "&lt;script&gt;doEvilThing( 'prevText XSS' )&lt;/script&gt;",
	nextText: "&lt;script&gt;doEvilThing( 'nextText XSS' )&lt;/script&gt;",
	buttonText: "&lt;script&gt;doEvilThing( 'buttonText XSS' )&lt;/script&gt;",
	appendText: "&lt;script&gt;doEvilThing( 'appendText XSS' )&lt;/script&gt;",
} );

will call doEvilThing with 6 different parameters coming from all *Text options.

Patches

The issue is fixed in jQuery UI 1.13.0. The values passed to various *Text options are now always treated as pure text, not HTML.

Workarounds

A workaround is to not accept the value of the *Text options from untrusted sources.
