 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.
