There is an article on WP Tavern (enlace oculto) that mentions an XSS Vulnerability in older versions of Bootstrap. Your product uses Bootstrap and has the option to load a copy. What version of Bootstrap 3 is being loaded by Toolset and is there a way to update/make sure it uses the most current version to avoid issues?

Thank you.

Hi Jonathon,

Thanks for asking! I'd be happy to help.

Based on the report that you've mentioned, work is already underway to update the Bootstrap 3 that is included through Toolset, to use the latest patch.

I'm afraid, I don't have a time estimate to share at this time, but I'll keep you updated with the progress through this ticket.

Meanwhile, if you'd like to load this Bootstrap 3.4.1 on your website manually, you can select the option "The theme or another plugin is already loading Bootstrap 3.0" from "WP Admin -> Toolset -> Settings -> General" which will stop loading of Toolset's packed Bootstrap files.

After that you can load the Bootstrap files from your theme, as explained in these guides:
