Comment:

 The answer is almost certainly yes but unfortunately WP continues to ship
 a library with a vulnerability instead of updating it.

 Replying to [comment:26 onokazu]:
 > Shouldn't this given a higher priority since basically the current
 version of WordPress (including 4.9 beta) contains an older version of a
 3rd party library that has officially been unsupported by the vendor and
 containing an XSS vulnerability that will not be fixed.

 > It would also be great for plugin/theme developers since Bootstrap 4
 will be requiring jQuery 3 and up.
