CVE-2024-21490: This affects versions of the package angular from 1.3.0; versions of the package angularjs from 1.3.0.

HighCVSS 7.5 · v3.1—Proof of concept Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.8% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 79.8% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: angular.js (Debian:11) 1.8.3-1+deb12u1~deb11u1; angular.js (Debian:12) 1.8.3-1+deb12u1; angular.js (Debian:13) 1.8.3-2.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to angular.js (Debian:11) 1.8.3-1+deb12u1~deb11u1; angular.js (Debian:12) 1.8.3-1+deb12u1; angular.js (Debian:13) 1.8.3-2 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

This affects versions of the package angular from 1.3.0; versions of the package angularjs from 1.3.0. A regular expression used to split the value of the ng-srcset directive is vulnerable to super-linear runtime due to backtracking. With large carefully-crafted input, this can result in catastrophic backtracking and cause a denial of service. **Note:** This package is EOL and will not receive any updates to address this issue. Users should migrate to [@angular/core](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@angular/core).

Noroxi analysis

What does it mean in your environment?

The assessment above is generated automatically from the record's data; it doesn't know your environment. Our team verifies on your systems whether this vulnerability is actually exploitable and which mitigation is enough.

Affected systems

Is your version affected?

Pick the product and type the version you run. It's compared with this record's version ranges in your browser; the version isn't sent anywhere.

Is the AngularJS on your site affected?

The free JavaScript library scanner reads the AngularJS version from the files your site loads, matches this record and other known vulnerabilities, and gives the safe version on the same branch. If the version can't be read, it says so. No account needed.
