Description

As you can see, with Google Chrome 65.0.3325.181 when running a Lighthouse (https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse) 2.8.0 audit, there is a new test which claims there is a vulnerability in the version of jQuery (jQuery@1.12.4) included with WordPress.

Includes front-end JavaScript libraries with known security vulnerabilities.

Some third-party scripts may contain known security vulnerabilities  that are easily identified and exploited by attackers.

Is this something to be concerned about and are there any plans to update the version of jQuery included with WordPress to one without the linked vulnerabilities?
