From 39841f2ec9b17b3b2920fd1eb548d444251f4f56 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chirayu Krishnappa Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:03:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix($compile): disallow interpolations for DOM event handlers BREAKING CHANGE: Interpolations inside DOM event handlers are disallowed. DOM event handlers execute arbitrary Javascript code. Using an interpolation for such handlers means that the interpolated value is a JS string that is evaluated. Storing or generating such strings is error prone and likely leads to an XSS if you're not super careful. On the other hand, ng-click and such event handlers evaluate Angular expressions that are a lot safer (e.g. No direct access to global objects - only scope), cleaner and harder to exploit. To migrate the code follow the example below: Before: JS: scope.foo = 'alert(1)'; HTML:
After: JS: scope.foo = function() { alert(1); } HTML:
