The gateway makes limited use of Javascript and does not use client
side generated HTML. We therefore believe that issues with jquery
cannot be misused with the gateway. That said, in the upcoming release,
which will be released real soon, we have fixed all know jquery CVE
issues by patching jquery. The version will report v1.12.4 patch
26052021, i.e., still version 1.12.4 but with patches applied.

Note that a lot of high profiles sites still use 1.12.4 like for
example Stackoverflow (https://stackoverflow.com/).

Kind regards,
