Our web scans shows out-of-date version(YUI) vulnerability. I'm not able to find anything on how to remediate this finding. Any help is appreciated. TIA
Example :  /static/01babc68/scripts/yui/yahoo/yahoo-min.js 
Affected versions of the package are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting(XSS) via .swf files, allowing arbitary code injection into hosting server CVE-2012-5881 CVE-2012-5883

Jenkins version - 2.250 , windows 2012 server.

Hello there,

Nothing to care about at the moment for YUI as all the known vulnerabilities are related to the presence of the Flash files ("via .swf files"), they were removed from the library before it was included in Jenkins.
But the out-of-date status is still valid unfortunately.

Best regards,

Wadeck

While we include YUI, we do not include the vulnerable file.

Your scanner is trash.
