GHSA-prc3-vjfx-vhm9

MEDIUM

GHSA-prc3-vjfx-vhm9 is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.1) Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in angular. 4 public exploit references exist, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-prc3-vjfx-vhm9 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Description

All versions of package angular are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) due to insecure page caching in the Internet Explorer browser, which allows interpolation of <textarea> elements.

NPM package angular is deprecated. Those who want to receive security updates should use the actively maintained package @angular/core.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for angular. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

  2. Remediation status

    No patched version of angular has shipped for GHSA-prc3-vjfx-vhm9 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.

  3. 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-prc3-vjfx-vhm9 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Tailored to GHSA-prc3-vjfx-vhm9. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
