angularnpmDescription
Improper sanitization of the value of the 'srcset' attribute in AngularJS allows attackers to bypass common image source restrictions, which can also lead to a form of Content Spoofing https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Content_Spoofing .
This issue affects AngularJS versions 1.3.0-rc.4 and greater.
Note: The AngularJS project is End-of-Life and will not receive any updates to address this issue. For more information see here https://docs.angularjs.org/misc/version-support-status .

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for angular, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
The records we use list no patched version of angular for CVE-2024-8372. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
