Outdated AngularJS Library Allows Fake Content to Be Shown to Your Users

medium

Your website uses an old version of AngularJS (a JavaScript framework) that has a known security flaw. Because of this flaw, an attacker could bypass a built-in safety filter and display images or content from unauthorized sources on your pages — a technique known as content spoofing. The bigger concern here is that AngularJS itself is no longer maintained by its creators, meaning this flaw will never receive an official fix.

Outdated JavaScript Framework Can Be Used to Take Your App Offline

high

Your application uses AngularJS 1.8.3, an outdated JavaScript framework that contains a known security flaw (CVE-2024-21490). An attacker can send a specially crafted request that causes your app to freeze or crash — making it unavailable to your customers. Importantly, AngularJS reached its official end of life in December 2021 and will never receive a patch for this issue.

Outdated JavaScript Framework Can Be Used to Slow Down Your Web App

medium

Your web application uses an outdated version of AngularJS (a JavaScript framework) that contains a known flaw. A visitor could submit a specially crafted URL into a form field and cause your server or browser to freeze up while processing it, making your site slow or temporarily unresponsive for other users. This is a medium-severity issue — it doesn't expose data, but it can affect availability.

Outdated AngularJS Library Can Be Used to Slow Down Your Website

medium

Your website uses an outdated version of AngularJS (a JavaScript library) that contains a flaw in one of its built-in tools. An attacker could send a specially crafted request that causes your server or browser to get stuck doing unnecessary work, potentially slowing down or temporarily making your site unavailable to real users. Think of it like a prank caller who knows exactly what to say to put your receptionist on hold indefinitely.

Outdated AngularJS Library Can Be Used to Slow Down Your App

medium

Your website uses an old version of AngularJS (a JavaScript framework) that contains a flaw in how it processes certain web addresses. An attacker could send a specially crafted request that causes your server to spend a disproportionate amount of time processing it, potentially slowing down or temporarily making your app unresponsive for other users. This is a medium-severity issue — it's worth fixing, but it's not an emergency.

Outdated Lodash Library Allows Application Tampering or Crash

high

Your application uses an outdated version of Lodash, a very common JavaScript helper library. This version has a known flaw that could allow an attacker who can send crafted input to your app to corrupt how your application handles data internally — potentially causing it to crash or behave in unexpected ways. Exploiting this requires specific conditions, but the fix is a straightforward library update.

Outdated jQuery Library Can Run Malicious Code in Visitors' Browsers

medium

Your website uses an outdated version of jQuery, a common JavaScript tool. This version has a known flaw: if your site makes background data requests to other websites, a compromised or malicious third-party server could send back code that runs automatically in your visitors' browsers. Think of it like ordering a package and having the delivery driver hand you something unexpected that activates the moment you open the door.

Outdated Date Library Can Be Used to Slow Down or Freeze Your Application

medium

Your application uses an old version of Moment.js, a popular JavaScript tool for handling dates and times. This version has a known flaw where a specially crafted date string can cause the server to get stuck processing it, making your app slow or unresponsive for other users. Think of it like a trick question that causes a calculator to spin forever — it doesn't break the calculator, but it stops it from doing anything else.

Outdated Bootstrap Library Allows Script Injection via Tooltips

medium

Your website uses an outdated version of Bootstrap — a popular design toolkit — that has a known security flaw. A malicious actor who can influence tooltip or popover content on your site could use this flaw to run unwanted code in a visitor's browser. The fix is a straightforward library upgrade.

Outdated Bootstrap Library Allows Script Injection via Button Components

medium

Your website uses an old version of Bootstrap (a popular design toolkit) that has a known security flaw. A specific button feature in this version doesn't properly filter out malicious code, meaning that if any user-supplied text ever reaches those buttons, it could run unwanted scripts in your visitors' browsers. Bootstrap 3 is also no longer maintained, so no official fix will be released for this version.

Outdated Bootstrap Library Allows Malicious Script Injection

medium

Your website uses an outdated version of Bootstrap (a popular design toolkit) that contains a known security flaw. An attacker who can influence the content on your pages could use this flaw to run malicious code in your visitors' browsers. The fix is straightforward: update Bootstrap to a newer version.

Outdated Bootstrap Library Contains Script Injection Weakness

medium

Your website uses an old version of Bootstrap (a popular design toolkit), which has a known weakness that could allow a malicious script to run in a visitor's browser under specific conditions. This requires an attacker to already be able to influence how your site's Bootstrap components are configured — it's not a direct, open door, but it is a gap worth closing. Upgrading Bootstrap to the patched version resolves it completely.
