CVE-2025-0716

CVE-2025-0716: AngularJS improperly sanitizes SVG elements

Improper sanitization of the value of the 'href' and 'xlink:href' attributes in '<image>' SVG elements in AngularJS allows attackers to bypass common image source restrictions. This can lead to a form of Content Spoofing https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Content_Spoofing and also negatively affect the application's performance and behavior by using too large or slow-to-load images.

This issue affects all versions of AngularJS.

Note: The AngularJS project is End-of-Life and will not receive any updates to address this issue. For more information see here https://docs.angularjs.org/misc/version-support-status .

Root Cause Analysis

The vulnerability (CVE-2025-0716) in AngularJS involves improper sanitization of href and xlink:href attributes on SVG <image> elements, allowing bypass of imgSrcSanitizationTrustedUrlList. Since AngularJS is End-of-Life, no official patches are available. The analysis relies on the detailed description from HeroDevs. The identified functions are the linking functions of the ngHref and ngAttr directives, and the attribute interpolation mechanism handled by $interpolate and $compile. These are the points where AngularJS binds data to the DOM attributes. The vulnerability occurs because these specific paths, when dealing with href (and xlink:href for ngHref) on SVG <image> elements, either do not invoke the sanitization logic correctly (e.g., by not recognizing the context as an image source requiring imgSrcSanitizationTrustedUrlList) or use a less strict sanitization rule, leading to the bypass. The specificity of which attributes and directives are affected (e.g., ng-attr-href vs. ng-attr-xlink:href) points to flaws within these particular data-binding implementations rather than a universally broken sanitization utility.
