Summary

IBM MQ Appliance has resolved multiple AngularJS vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2020-7676
**DESCRIPTION:**angular.js is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious script into a Web page which would be executed in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
CVSS Base score: 4.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/183379 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2019-14863
**DESCRIPTION:**Angular.js is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious script into a Web page which would be executed in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.

**Third Party Entry:**172544
**DESCRIPTION:**AngularJS is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the document.implementation.createHTMLDocument(). A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious script into a Web page which would be executed in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
CVSS Base score: 6.5

**Third Party Entry:**172550
**DESCRIPTION:**AngularJS is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the failure of the $sanitize sanitizer to traverse the HTML when one or more of the elements in the HTML have been "clobbered". A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/172550 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

**Third Party Entry:**172543
**DESCRIPTION:**AngularJS is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the $http function. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious script into a Web page which would be executed in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
