How to fix?
Upgrade org.webjars.bower:angular to version 1.5.9 or higher.
Overview
org.webjars.bower:angular is a bower WebJar for angular.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Content Security Policy (CSP) Bypass. Extension URIs (resource://...) bypass Content-Security-Policy in Chrome and Firefox and can always be loaded. Now if a site already has a XSS bug, and uses CSP to protect itself, but the user has an extension installed that uses Angular, an attacker can load Angular from the extension, and Angular's auto-bootstrapping can be used to bypass the victim site's CSP protection.
