HighGHSA-89mq-4x47-5v83CVE-2019-10768SNYK-JS-ANGULAR-534884
angular Prototype Pollution vulnerability
Published 20 Nov 2019 · Updated 8 Jul 2026
Affected package
angularnpm
- Affected
- <1.7.9
- Fixed in
- 1.7.9
Update to the fixed version for your release line, for example:
npm install angular@1.7.9Details
Versions of angular prior to 1.7.9 are vulnerable to prototype pollution. The deprecated API function merge() does not restrict the modification of an Object's prototype in the , which may allow an attacker to add or modify an existing property that will exist on all objects.
Recommendation
Upgrade to version 1.7.9 or later. The function was already deprecated and upgrades are not expected to break functionality.
Is GHSA-89mq-4x47-5v83 in any of your client repos?
Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected angular, and gives you the command that fixes it.
