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

Description

Assigning user input directly to the $translateProvider.translations method in AngularJS can allow untrusted data to be injected into translation strings. This opens the door for malicious code to be rendered in the application's UI.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could execute arbitrary JavaScript in users' browsers (Cross-Site Scripting), potentially stealing user data, hijacking sessions, or defacing the application. This compromises both user security and the application's trustworthiness.
