A vulnerability was found in Angular up to 11.0.4/11.1.0-next.2. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is the handling of comments. The manipulation leads to cross site scripting. It is possible to launch the attack remotely but it might require an authentication first. Upgrading to version 11.0.5 and 11.1.0-next.3 is able to address this issue. The name of the patch is ba8da742e3b243e8f43d4c63aa842b44e14f2b09. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - angular: XSS vulnerability (CVE-2021-4231)

  - Hawk is an HTTP authentication scheme providing mechanisms for making authenticated HTTP requests with     partial cryptographic verification of the request and response, covering the HTTP method, request URI,     host, and optionally the request payload. Hawk used a regular expression to parse `Host` HTTP header     (`Hawk.utils.parseHost()`), which was subject to regular expression DoS attack - meaning each added     character in the attacker's input increases the computation time exponentially. `parseHost()` was patched     in `9.0.1` to use built-in `URL` class to parse hostname instead. `Hawk.authenticate()` accepts `options`     argument. If that contains `host` and `port`, those would be used instead of a call to     `utils.parseHost()`. (CVE-2022-29167)

  - A Regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) flaw was found in Function interpolateName in     interpolateName.js in webpack loader-utils 2.0.0 via the url variable in interpolateName.js.
    (CVE-2022-37603)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.
