Synopsis

AngularJS < 1.6.1 Cross-Site Scripting

Description

According to its self-reported version number, AngularJS is prior to 1.6.1. Therefore, it may be affected by a JSONP callback vulnerability than can lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to AngularJS version 1.6.1 or later.
