AngularJS is an MVC framework for building web applications. The core features include HTML enhanced with custom component and data-binding capabilities, dependency injection and strong focus on simplicity, testability, maintainability and boiler-plate reduction.
Versions of the package angular from 1.2.21 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the angular.copy() utility function due to the usage of an insecure regular expression. Exploiting this vulnerability is possible by a large carefully-crafted input, which can result in catastrophic backtracking.
