CVE-2026-11998

A flaw was found in AngularJS. The Strict Contextual Escaping (SCE) logic, designed to ensure only trusted values are used in security-sensitive contexts like resource URLs, can be bypassed. This bypass allows an attacker to use unsafe values as resource URLs, leading to arbitrary JavaScript execution within the victim's browser session. This could result in information disclosure or other impacts depending on the executed script.

An Important flaw in AngularJS's Strict Contextual Escaping (SCE) logic allows for a bypass, enabling arbitrary JavaScript execution within a victim's browser session. This vulnerability arises because the SCE's URL matching logic can be partially circumvented, leading to the use of untrusted values in security-sensitive contexts. As AngularJS is an End-of-Life project, no upstream updates are available to address this issue, potentially impacting Red Hat products that bundle affected versions of AngularJS.

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
