CVE-2024-21490
Published:February 10, 2024
Updated:November 02, 2026
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).
