AngularJS – XSS Vulnerability Through The Attribute “usemap” From 1.0.0 To 1.2.30

Rule number #

SN-JSL-006 (for ServiceNow)

SF-JSL-008 (for Salesforce)

Impact #

The “usemap” attribute is used to reference another element by name or id. Since the name and id attributes are already blacklisted, a sanitized usemap attribute could only reference unsanitized content, which is a security risk.

Remediation #

Update AngularJS to the latest version.

Time to fix #

30 min
