Do you have any security concerns when it comes to JQuery plugins? [closed]

Question

I am curious as to what, if any, security concerns other develpers have in regards to the use of JQuery plugins. I have seen very little talk about security where JQuery is concerned. Is it really a non issue?

Appreciate your thoughts!

Answer 1

Personally I am comfortable enough with Javascript to be able to swiff through the plugin code and understand possible misbehavior.

What I look for is the most relevant security issue with javascript, cross-domain communication, which is usually done with the creation of iframes, script/img tags etc..

Most of the times though, I trust the community, for example if it's up on http://plugins.jquery.com/ it is usually a trusted source.
