Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2022-25869
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js angular module is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input when caching pages using Internet Explorer. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially-crafted URL to execute script in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.

CVSS Source:   IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score:   4.2
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2023-26118
DESCRIPTION:   AngularJS is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) flaw in the input[url] functionality. By providing specially-crafted regex input, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CWE:   CWE-185: Incorrect Regular Expression
CVSS Source:   IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score:   5.3
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

DESCRIPTION:   Node.js Angular module is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) flaw in posPre: ' '.repeat() of NUMBER_FORMATS.PATTERNS[1].posPre. By sending a specially-crafted regex input, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CWE:   CWE-1333: Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity
CVSS Source:   IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score:   5.3
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2023-26116
DESCRIPTION:   AngularJS is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) flaw in the angular.copy() utility function. By providing specially-crafted regex input, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CWE:   CWE-185: Incorrect Regular Expression
CVSS Source:   IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score:   5.3
CVSS Vector:   (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:   CVE-2024-21490
DESCRIPTION:   Node.js angular module is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) flaw in the value of the ng-srcset directive.

Disclaimer

According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
