Summary
angular vulnerable to regular expression denial of service via the $resource service
Details

All versions of the package angular are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the $resource service due to the usage of an insecure regular expression. Exploiting this vulnerability is possible by a large carefully-crafted input, which can result in catastrophic backtracking.

Severity
5.3 (Medium)
