FKIE_CVE-2025-4690

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-08-19 14:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 09:33
Severity
4.3 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L
Summary
A regular expression used by AngularJS'  linky https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngSanitize/filter/linky  filter to detect URLs in input text is vulnerable to super-linear runtime due to backtracking. With a large carefully-crafted input, this can cause a Regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Regular_expression_Denial_of_Service_-_ReDoS  attack on the application. 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 .
