# AngularJS – XSS Vulnerability Through The Attribute “usemap” From 1.3.0 To 1.5.0-rc2

Impact Area

Security

 

 

 

           Severity

High

 

 

 

           Affected Element

**ServiceNow**

UI Script

**Salesforce**

Static Resource

## Rule number

**SN-JSL-005 **(for ServiceNow)

**SF-JSL-004** (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
