jQuery
jQuery is one of the most widely used JavaScript libraries on the web, still bundled by a vast number of sites and CMS themes years after its peak. ScanMalware detects it from the global jQuery / $ objects and its recognisable asset URLs.
Old jQuery versions carry well-known XSS and prototype-pollution issues, and the library is a frequent vehicle for injected or tampered code on compromised sites. Comparing the loaded jQuery against known-good library fingerprints helps separate a normal dependency from a supply-chain compromise.

How ScanMalware detects jQuery
jQuery is detected by analysing the response headers, HTML markup, JavaScript runtime and asset URLs captured when ScanMalware loads the site in a real headless browser.
From any scan you can pivot into related signals — JARM TLS fingerprints, ASN ownership and BGP routing, certificate history, JavaScript analysis and the overall security verdict — to understand not just that jQuery is present, but how it is being used. Open the full search interface for jQuery →

Frequently asked questions about jQuery
- Does using jQuery mean a website is unsafe?
- No. jQuery is a stack component, not a verdict. ScanMalware scores the whole page — its scripts, redirects, certificates, threat-intelligence matches and behaviour — so a site using jQuery can be perfectly safe or actively malicious.
- How many sites using jQuery has ScanMalware scanned?
- jQuery has been detected in 91,116 public scans on ScanMalware.com. Each scan is a real headless-browser visit, and the figure updates as new URLs are submitted.
- What technologies are commonly used with jQuery?
- Across scanned sites, jQuery is most often seen alongside JQuery, Open-Graph-Protocol and Google Analytics. The full co-occurrence breakdown is listed on this page.
