    • The glide.jquery.legacy is used to prevent older prepatched JQuery versions from being used which will introduce unpatched vulnerabilities in the library.

    If glide.jquery.legacy is not set to the recommended value of false, then older prepatched JQuery versions are used which introduce unpatched vulnerabilities in the library. When false, integrates the JQuery 1.12.3 and 2.2.3 security patches. The system property is a fail-safe in case any organizations depend on the non-patched versions of angularJS to run their custom implementations.

    Ensure the property glide.jquery.legacy is set to false.
