CVE-2024-21490
CVSS 3.1 Score 7.5 of 10 (high)
Details
Summary
CVE-2024-21490 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting versions of the Angular package, specifically those below 1.3.0. The issue stems from a problematic regular expression used to process the ng-srcset directive. Maliciously crafted inputs can induce super-linear runtime due to backtracking, ultimately leading to catastrophic backtracking and a denial-of-service condition. Unfortunately, this package has reached its end-of-life and will not receive any further updates. Users are advised to migrate to [@angular/core](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@angular/core) to mitigate this risk.
