Modal Text Message App for Splunk

[joemcmahon]

The Upgrade Readiness App is flagging version 2.0.0 Modal Text Message App for Splunk as not jQuery 3.5 compatible.  Is this issue a non-issue, or does the app need to be slightly altered?

It's installed in a 9.4.1 Splunk Enterprise environment.

Hi @joemcmahon 

The Upgrade Readiness App warning for the Modal Text Message App version 2.0.0 regarding jQuery 3.5 compatibility is valid.

Splunk Enterprise 9.0 and later require apps to use jQuery 3.5.x or later due to security vulnerabilities in older versions. Version 2.0.0 of the Modal Text Message App uses an older version of jQuery, you may be able to contact the developer @rjthibod who may be able to resolve this with an updated version.

Splunk announced with version 8.2.0 that apps need to move to jQuery 3.5 as older versions will be removed from future versions of Splunk. This was a number of versions ago so it may well be removed soon if not already which would cause the app to stop working.

Thanks for pinging me. 

@joemcmahon I haven't had many reasons to touch this app for quite  a while, but I'll try to assess how much work the upgrade would be to keep the app current. 

No promises I can get to it this week, but I'll try soon.  Splunk is not really part of my regular work or hobby life anymore, so not something I put much focus on these days.
