Overview

CVE-2022-25869 affects all versions of the Angular package, discovered and disclosed on July 14, 2022. This vulnerability is a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) issue that specifically impacts applications running in Internet Explorer browsers due to insecure page caching mechanisms that allow element interpolation (NVD, Snyk).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) issue with a CVSS v3.1 score of 4.2 (medium severity). The attack vector is network-based with high attack complexity, requiring no privileges but necessitating user interaction. The vulnerability's scope is unchanged, with low impact on confidentiality and integrity, and no impact on availability (Snyk).

Impact

When successfully exploited, this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to restricted information and potential data modification, though the attacker's control over the outcome is limited. The vulnerability can be used to steal cookies, hijack user sessions, expose sensitive information, enable access to privileged services, and potentially deliver malware (Snyk).

Mitigation and workarounds

Currently, there is no fixed version available for the Angular package. Best practices for mitigation include sanitizing data input in HTTP requests, converting special characters to their HTML or URL encoded equivalents, giving users the option to disable client-side scripts, implementing proper request validation, and enforcing a Content Security Policy (Snyk).
