Practical Security Guides For Your Team
Clear, non-alarmist guidance for real web vulnerabilities so your team can prioritize fixes confidently.
Outdated Date Library Can Be Used to Slow Down or Crash Your Application
highYour application uses an outdated version of Moment.js — a popular tool developers use to handle dates and times. This version has a known flaw where sending it an unusually long piece of text can cause it to get stuck processing, slowing your app to a crawl or making it temporarily unavailable to users. This only matters if your app accepts date input directly from users or external sources.
AngularJS Vulnerability Can Make Your Web App Freeze or Crash for Users
mediumYour website uses AngularJS, a web framework that reached its official end of life in December 2021 — meaning it no longer receives security fixes from its creators. A newly discovered flaw in AngularJS allows anyone to send a specially crafted piece of text to your app that causes it to freeze or become unresponsive, effectively locking out real users. Because AngularJS is no longer maintained, there is no official patch available.

Outdated AngularJS Library Allows Fake Content to Be Shown to Your Users
mediumYour 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 The bigger concern here is that AngularJS itself is no longer maintained by its creators, meaning this flaw will never receive an official fix.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
highYour 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
mediumYour 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
mediumYour 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
mediumYour 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 Attackers to Run Malicious Code on Your Server
highYour application uses an old version of Lodash (3.10.1), a popular JavaScript helper library. This version has a known security flaw that could allow an attacker with access to your system to run their own commands on your server. Upgrading to the latest version closes this gap completely.
Outdated Lodash Library Allows Application Tampering or Crash
highYour 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 Lodash Library Allows Application Logic Tampering
highYour application uses a very old version of Lodash (3.10.1), a popular JavaScript utility library, that has a known security flaw. An attacker who can send crafted data to your application could manipulate how JavaScript objects behave globally — think of it like someone secretly changing the rules of the game for every player at once. Upgrading to the latest version of Lodash closes this gap immediately.
Outdated JavaScript Utility Library Allows Application Disruption (CVE-2018-16487)
highYour application is using a very old version of lodash (3.10.1), a popular JavaScript helper library, that contains a known security flaw. An attacker who can send crafted data to your application could use this flaw to disrupt your service or, in some cases, interfere with how your application behaves. The fix is a straightforward library upgrade.
