Summary
XSS in the `altField` option of the Datepicker widget in jquery-ui
Details

Impact

Accepting the value of the altField option of the Datepicker widget from untrusted sources may execute untrusted code. For example, initializing the datepicker in the following way:

$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker( {
    altField: "<img onerror='doEvilThing()' src='/404' />",
} );

will call the doEvilThing function.

Patches

The issue is fixed in jQuery UI 1.13.0. Any string value passed to the altField option is now treated as a CSS selector.

Workarounds

A workaround is to not accept the value of the altField option from untrusted sources.
