On of our customers hired a firm to do a pentest on their infrastructure.
They came up with the following issue.
Is this something Plesk can replace?

Description:
The Prototype JavaScript library version 1.7.3 contains a vulnerability
CVE202027511 that allows attackers to execute a Regular Expression Denial of
Service ReDoS attack. This vulnerability exists in the stripTags and unescapeHTML
functions, where crafted HTML tags can be used to cause excessive backtracking in
regular expressions, leading to significant performance degradation.

Remediation:
Upgrade the Prototype library to the latest version to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
