AngularJS Misconfiguration: Dangerous Protocol Allowed
Abstract
The application allows JavaScript as an allowed protocol, which may lead to cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
Explanation
Certain frameworks such as AngularJS limit the protocols that may be set for links to other sites and images. This is primarily to prevent inline JavaScript from running, which may lead to additional cross-site scripting vulnerabilities within the application.
Example 1: The following changes the default allow list of protocols in AngularJS to also allow image HTML elements to allow inline JavaScript.
Example 1: The following changes the default allow list of protocols in AngularJS to also allow image HTML elements to allow inline JavaScript.
myModule.config(function($compileProvider){
$compileProvider.imgSrcSanitizationWhitelist(/^(http(s)?|javascript):.*/);
});
