Versions of angular prior to 1.5.0-beta.1 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting. The package fails to sanitize xlink:href attributes, which may allow attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim’s browser if the value is user-controlled.
Recommendation
Upgrade to version 1.5.0-beta.1 or later.
