Unfortunately, upgrading to jQuery 3.x is not a small undertaking and we don't have the resources for that at the moment. However, the risk is mitigated by use of CSP. I would definitely recommend not to deactivate jQuery. I'm closing this as duplicate of 0026357. Next time please search before opening a new issue.
