CWE	CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (‘Cross-site Scripting’)
OWASP	A07:2017 - Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Confidence Level	Low
Impact Level	Medium
Likelihood Level	Low

Description

Using $sce.trustAsUrl with data from user input can allow attackers to inject malicious URLs into your application. If this input is not properly sanitized, it can lead to security risks such as cross-site scripting (XSS).

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could inject harmful URLs or scripts, potentially leading to theft of user data, session hijacking, or redirection to malicious websites. This compromises user trust and can expose sensitive information or damage your application’s reputation.

Description

Assigning user-controlled input directly to $window.location.href in Angular can allow attackers to redirect users to malicious websites. This makes it possible for attackers to exploit your application’s navigation logic.

Impact

If exploited, attackers could trick users into visiting phishing or malicious sites, potentially stealing sensitive information or credentials. This can damage user trust, facilitate social engineering attacks, and expose your organization to legal and reputational risks.

Description

Allowlisting resource URLs with wildcards (like ‘**’) in Angular’s $sceDelegateProvider can let the app load scripts or resources from any domain, including untrusted ones. This bypasses Angular’s security controls and increases the risk of malicious content being loaded.

Description

Using $sce.trustAsHtml in Angular with user-supplied input can allow attackers to inject malicious HTML or JavaScript code. This makes your application vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could run arbitrary scripts in the user’s browser, potentially stealing sensitive information, hijacking user sessions, or defacing your site. This puts both user data and application integrity at risk.

Description

Using $sce.trustAsResourceUrl with user input in AngularJS can allow attackers to inject malicious URLs if the input is not properly sanitized. This exposes the application to security risks by trusting potentially unsafe content.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could execute malicious scripts or load harmful resources in the user’s browser, leading to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This can result in data theft, session hijacking, or compromise of user accounts and trust in the application.

Description

Using $sce.trustAsCss with values that include user input can allow attackers to inject malicious CSS. This can lead to security risks if input is not properly sanitized before being trusted.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could inject harmful CSS into your application, potentially manipulating the appearance of your site, stealing sensitive user data, or launching phishing attacks. This compromises user trust and can lead to further security breaches.

Description

Using angular.element to insert user-controlled input directly into HTML elements without proper encoding or sanitization can allow attackers to inject malicious scripts. This creates a risk of cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in your AngularJS application.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim’s browser, leading to data theft, session hijacking, or defacement of your application. This can compromise user accounts, expose sensitive information, and damage your organization’s reputation.

Description

Directly inserting user input into DOM elements using angular.element methods like .html(), .append(), or .prepend() without proper sanitization or encoding can introduce cross-site scripting (XSS) risks. Untrusted data should always be sanitized or encoded before being rendered as HTML.

Description

Assigning user input directly to the $translateProvider.translations method in AngularJS can allow untrusted data to be injected into translation strings. This opens the door for malicious code to be rendered in the application’s UI.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could execute arbitrary JavaScript in users’ browsers (Cross-Site Scripting), potentially stealing user data, hijacking sessions, or defacing the application. This compromises both user security and the application’s trustworthiness.

Description

Using $sce.trustAsJs with unsanitized user input in AngularJS allows potentially unsafe code to be executed. This bypasses Angular’s default protections, making the application vulnerable to malicious JavaScript injection.

Impact

If exploited, attackers could inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the user’s browser, leading to data theft, session hijacking, or complete compromise of user accounts. This can result in severe security breaches and loss of user trust.
