jQuery Upgrade Issue - Need Guidance

Hi Splunkers,

I received a notice about upgrading jQuery to version 3.5 or higher, and I ran a jQuery scan through the Upgrade Readiness dashboard. The incompatibility issue is coming from my custom app.

The file in question: C:\Program Files\Splunk\etc\apps\custom_app\appserver\static\help\en-GB\jquery.js
needs to be updated.

Remediation(Sugested by the dashboard): The jQuery 1.11.1 bundled with the app introduces vulnerabilities. Splunk apps must use jQuery 3.5 or higher, as lower versions are no longer supported in Splunk Cloud Platform.

What I’ve done so far: I downloaded the new jQuery.js file from jquery.com, renamed it, and replaced the file in the specified path and restarted splunk, but this hasn't resolved the upgrade issue.

I'm unsure of the next steps and would appreciate any guidance or suggestions.

Thanks!

Just adding version="1.1" on the dashboard source , remove the ldashboard name isted in jquery scan. But, unaware tif hat's the expected work around . 

Also , pls explain this notes mention on  Remediation "Note: The above mentioned changes must happen in the default folder, and those changes must come by uploading a new TARBAL"

Hi @AsmaF2025 ,
I was able to resolve my jQuery issue by re-running the scan. You can check out the replies in this Reddit post — they were quite helpful:
