CWE	CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
OWASP	A07:2017 - Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Confidence Level	Medium
Impact Level	Medium
Likelihood Level	High

Description

Using angular.element to insert user-controlled input directly into HTML elements without proper encoding or sanitization can allow attackers to inject malicious scripts. This creates a risk of cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in your AngularJS application.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser, leading to data theft, session hijacking, or defacement of your application. This can compromise user accounts, expose sensitive information, and damage your organization's reputation.
