Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

Versions of `angular` prior to 1.5.0-beta.1 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting. The package fails to sanitize `xlink:href` attributes, which may allow attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's browser if the value is user-controlled. ## Recommendation Upgrade to version 1.5.0-beta.1 or later.
