AI-suggested
Upgrade to @kolkov/angular-editor version 3.0.4 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed by properly sanitizing the source view content before assigning it to innerHTML. No other mitigations are specified. Patch status is confirmed by the version cutoff at 3.0.4.
Description
@kolkov/angular-editor versions before 3.0.4 have a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the toggleEditorMode() function. This function assigns source view text directly to innerHTML without sanitization, allowing attackers to inject HTML with event handlers like img onerror. When users toggle views, the malicious script executes in the application's origin.
