The package angular after 1.7.0 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) by providing a custom locale rule that makes it possible to assign the parameter in posPre: ' '.repeat() of NUMBER_FORMATS.PATTERNS[1].posPre with a very high value. **Note:** 1) This package has been deprecated and is no longer maintained. 2) The vulnerable versions are 1.7.0 and higher.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

    angular.js a popular JavaScript framework was affected by multiple     vulnerabilities.

    CVE-2022-25844

        A Regular Expression Denial of Service vulnerability (ReDoS)         was found by providing a custom locale rule that makes         it possible to assign the parameter in posPre: ' '.repeat()         of NUMBER_FORMATS.PATTERNS[1].posPre with a very high value

    CVE-2023-26116

        A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) was found         via the angular.copy() utility function due to the usage         of an insecure regular expression.

    CVE-2023-26117

        A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) was found         via the $resource service due to the usage of an insecure         regular expression.

    CVE-2023-26118

        A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) was found         via the <input type=url> element due to the usage of an         insecure regular expression in the input[url] functionality.
        Exploiting this vulnerability is possible by a large         carefully-crafted input, which can result in catastrophic         backtracking.

    CVE-2024-8372

        Improper sanitization of the value of the 'srcset'         attribute in AngularJS allows attackers to bypass         common image source restrictions, which can also         lead to a form of Content Spoofing

    CVE-2024-8373

        Improper sanitization of the value of the [srcset]         attribute in <source> HTML elements in AngularJS allows         attackers to bypass common image source restrictions,         which can also lead to a form of Content Spoofing

    CVE-2024-21490

        A regular expression used to split         the value of the ng-srcset directive is vulnerable to         super-linear runtime due to backtracking. With large         carefully-crafted input, this can result in catastrophic         backtracking and cause a denial of service.

    CVE-2025-0716

        Improper sanitization of the value of the 'href'         and 'xlink:href' attributes in '<image>' SVG elements         in AngularJS allows attackers to bypass common image         source restrictions. This can lead to a form of         Content Spoofing .

    CVE-2025-2336

        An improper sanitization vulnerability has been identified         in ngSanitize module, which allows attackers to bypass         common image source restrictions normally         applied to image elements. This bypass can further lead to a form of         Content Spoofing. Similarly, the application's performance and behavior         could be negatively affected by using too large or slow-to-load images.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     1.8.3-1+deb12u1~deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your angular.js packages.
