AngularJS users using JQuery should upgrade JQuery to 3.5.0, as a similar vulnerability [affects jQuery \u003c3.5.0](https://github.com/jquery/jquery/security/advisories/GHSA-gxr4-xjj5-5px2).\n\n### Workarounds\nChanging sanitizer configuration not to allow certain tag grouping (e.g. `\u003coption\u003e\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c/option\u003e`) or inline style elements may stop certain exploitation vectors, but it's uncertain if all possible exploitation vectors would be covered. Upgrade of AngularJS to 1.8.0 is recommended.\n\n### References\nhttps://github.com/advisories/GHSA-mhp6-pxh8-r675\nhttps://github.com/jquery/jquery/security/advisories/GHSA-gxr4-xjj5-5px2\nhttps://github.com/jquery/jquery/security/advisories/GHSA-jpcq-cgw6-v4j6\nhttps://blog.jquery.com/2020/04/10/jquery-3-5-0-released/\nhttps://snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-ANGULAR-570058","status":"published","published":"2020-08-05T21:47:02Z","modified":"2023-01-09T05:03:41Z","cvss":[{"version":"3.1","score":5,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","level":"medium"}],"cwes":["CWE-79"],"updated_at":"2026-11-02T14:36:06.317379Z"},{"id":"GHSA-28hp-fgcr-2r4h","title":"Cross-Site Scripting via JSONP","description":"JSONP allows untrusted resource URLs, which provides a vector for attack by malicious actors.","status":"published","published":"2019-06-27T17:25:42Z","modified":"2023-01-09T05:01:45Z","cwes":["CWE-79"],"updated_at":"2026-11-02T14:36:02.073372Z"}],"nvd":[{"id":"CVE-2023-26116","description":"Versions of the package angular from 1.2.21 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the angular.copy() utility function due to the usage of an insecure regular expression.

AngularJS users using JQuery should upgrade JQuery to 3.5.0, as a similar vulnerability [affects jQuery \u003c3.5.0](https://github.com/jquery/jquery/security/advisories/GHSA-gxr4-xjj5-5px2).\n\n### Workarounds\nChanging sanitizer configuration not to allow certain tag grouping (e.g. `\u003coption\u003e\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c/option\u003e`) or inline style elements may stop certain exploitation vectors, but it's uncertain if all possible exploitation vectors would be covered. Upgrade of AngularJS to 1.8.0 is recommended.\n\n### References\nhttps://github.com/advisories/GHSA-mhp6-pxh8-r675\nhttps://github.com/jquery/jquery/security/advisories/GHSA-gxr4-xjj5-5px2\nhttps://github.com/jquery/jquery/security/advisories/GHSA-jpcq-cgw6-v4j6\nhttps://blog.jquery.com/2020/04/10/jquery-3-5-0-released/\nhttps://snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-ANGULAR-570058","status":"published","published":"2020-08-05T21:47:02Z","modified":"2021-10-08T21:25:58Z","cvss":[{"version":"3.1","score":5,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","level":"medium"}],"cwes":["CWE-79"],"updated_at":"2026-11-02T15:46:38.213481Z"},{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2023-26116","description":"Versions of the package angular from 1.2.21 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the angular.copy() utility function due to the usage of an insecure regular expression.
