Potential Vulnerability in Cloned Code

[navnitan-7]

Summary

This change mitigates CVE-2015-9251 behavior in a vendored jQuery clone at docs/v2.10.0/_static/jquery-3.5.1.js.
It mirrors the upstream jQuery security intent to avoid implicit cross-domain script execution during ajax response conversion.

Changes

• Adds a cross-domain script guard in ajaxConvert(...).
• Preserves normal conversion flow for other data types.

Impact

This reduces XSS risk from cross-domain ajax responses being interpreted as script implicitly.

• Upstream fix: jquery/jquery@2546bb3
