Description

angular.js prior to 1.8.0 allows cross site scripting. The regex-based input HTML replacement may turn sanitized code into unsanitized one. Wrapping <option> elements in <select> ones changes parsing behavior, leading to possibly unsanitizing code.

Recommendation

Update the angular package to the latest compatible version. Followings are version details:

  • Affected version(s): < 1.8.0
  • Patched version(s): 1.8.0
