CVE-2026-44643: Angular Expressions - Remote Code Execution using filters
(updated )
An attacker can write a malicious expression that escapes the sandbox to execute arbitrary code on the system.
Example of vulnerable code:
const expressions = require("angular-expressions");
const result = expressions.compile("a | __proto__")({}, {});
This should throw the error : Filter ‘proto’ is not defined, however, this shows :
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier ‘Object’
With a more complex (undisclosed) payload, one can get full access to Arbitrary code execution on the system.
