| Maven | org.webjars.npm:angular | >= 1.3.0, <= 1.8.3 | no fix listed |

Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
This affects versions of the package angular from 1.3.0. A regular expression used to split the value of the ng-srcset directive is vulnerable to super-linear runtime due to backtracking. With a large carefully-crafted input, this can result in catastrophic backtracking and cause a denial of service.
**Note:**
This package is EOL and will not receive any updates to address this issue. Users should migrate to [@angular/core](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@angular/core).
