# AngularJS – XSS Vulnerability Under 1.8.0 – Input HTML

Impact Area

Security

 

 

 

           Severity

High

 

 

 

           Affected Element

**ServiceNow**

UI Script

**Salesforce**

Static Resource

Rule number

**SN-JSL-006 **(for ServiceNow)

**SF-JSL-009 **(for Salesforce)

## Impact

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in jQuery before 1.8.0. The regex-based input HTML replacement may turn sanitized code into unsanitized one. Wrapping “<option>” elements in “<select>” ones changes parsing behavior, leading to possibly unsanitizing code.

## Remediation

Update AngularJS to the latest version.

### Time to fix

30 min
