CVE-2025-0716Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Content spoofing via unsanitized SVG image URLs

Published Apr 29, 2025 · Updated Nov 3, 2025

Improper URL sanitization in all AngularJS versions allows remote attackers to spoof content through crafted SVG image bindings. The ngHref and ngAttrHref directives and href interpolation on SVG image elements skip configured image-source sanitization before loading attacker-chosen URLs. Exploitation requires an application to bind attacker-influenced values into those attributes; the result is untrusted content display or performance degradation from oversized or slow images.
