Versions of the package angular from 1.4.9 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the <input type="url"> 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.

The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the K000141463 advisory.

    CVE-2019-10768In AngularJS before 1.7.9 the function `merge()` could be tricked into adding or modifying     properties of `Object.prototype` using a `__proto__` payload.CVE-2023-26116Versions 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.CVE-2023-26117Versions of     the package angular from 1.0.0 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the     $resource service 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.CVE-2023-26118Versions of the package angular from 1.4.9 are vulnerable to Regular Expression     Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the <input type=url> 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.
