AngularJS Misconfiguration: Strict Contextual Escaping Disabled
Abstract
Strict Contextual Escaping is disabled in the AngularJS 1 application, potentially leading to multiple new vulnerabilities.
Explanation
Strict Contextual Escaping (SCE) is a mechanism in AngularJS applications that helps protect the application from attackers. This can prevent many attack vectors across different types of vulnerabilites. The most prominent protection is against certain types of cross-site scripting attacks. In this application, this protection mechanism is specifically disabled.
Example 1: In this example we disable SCE on a module.
Example 1: In this example we disable SCE on a module.
myModule.config(function($sceProvider){
$sceProvider.enabled(false);
});
