Overview

angular is a package that lets you write client-side web applications as if you had a smarter browser. It also lets you use HTML as your template language and lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your application’s components clearly and succinctly.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Script Injection. Attributes were not protected via $sce, which prevents interpolated values that fail the RESOURCE_URL context tests from being used in interpolation. For example if the application is running at https://docs.angularjs.org then the following will fail:

<link href="{{ 'http://mydomain.org/unsafe.css' }}" rel="stylesheet">

By default, RESOURCE_URL safe URLs are only allowed from the same domain and protocol as the application document.
