Description
Versions of the package angular from 1.4.9 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the element due to the usage of an insecure regular expression in the input[url] functionality. Exploiting this vulnerability is possible by a large carefully-crafted input, which can result in catastrophic backtracking.
