CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/1333.html

The package angular after 1.7.0 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) by providing a custom locale rule that makes it possible to assign the parameter in posPre: .repeat() of NUMBER_FORMATS.PATTERNS[1].posPre with a very high value. Note: 1) This package has been deprecated and is no longer maintained. 2) The vulnerable versions are 1.7.0 and higher.

Weakness

The product uses a regular expression with a worst-case computational complexity that is inefficient and possibly exponential.
