More information:

jQuery mishandles jQuery.extend(true, {}, ...) because of Object.prototype pollution. If an unsanitized source object contained an enumerable __proto__ property, it could extend the native Object.prototype. For additional information, please refer to the upstream advisory at https://www.drupal.org/sa-core-2019-006 .

For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 1.7.2+dfsg-3.2+deb8u6.
