Infosec penetration tests are starting to flag and fail sites with the old 1.13 jQuery. For example.

This particular pentest is government-administered by Bavaria, Germany.

Maybe time to bite the bullet and move forward?

I'd recommend keeping jQuery UI up to date. I see WordPress is still on 1.13.x and the 1.14.x line is already 1.5 years old. There were very few breaking changes in 1.14.0: ​https://blog.jqueryui.com/2024/08/jquery-ui-1-14-0-released/. cc @azaozz

Upgrade guide is at ​https://jqueryui.com/upgrade-guide/1.14/. I expect the update to be quite easy.
