CVE-2024-8372 and CVE-2024-8373: Content Spoofing Vulnerabilities in AngularJS

Two significant content spoofing vulnerabilities have been discovered in AngularJS: CVE-2024-8372 and CVE-2024-8373. These vulnerabilities allow attackers to bypass security measures related to image source restrictions and could lead to manipulated content being displayed on trusted websites.

• CVE-2024-8372: Affects AngularJS versions 1.3.0-rc.4 and later. The vulnerability is caused by improper sanitization in the srcset attribute of HTML elements, potentially allowing malicious content injection.
• CVE-2024-8373: Impacts all versions of AngularJS. This vulnerability is due to improper sanitization in the <source> element, leading to similar content spoofing risks.

These issues fall under the content spoofing category, where attackers exploit improperly sanitized data to display fraudulent content to users. This type of attack can be particularly dangerous, as it occurs under the guise of a trusted website, deceiving users into interacting with malicious content.
