Course Overview

AngularJS is a popular JavaScript framework used to build dynamic single-page applications. However, its powerful templating features can also introduce significant security risks if not properly handled. Learning how to identify and exploit these vulnerabilities helps security professionals, bug bounty hunters, and developers better understand how attackers can compromise applications—and more importantly, how to defend against such threats.

This course begins with an introduction to AngularJS and its core concepts. It dives into template injection techniques and how attackers can manipulate the $scope object to execute arbitrary code. The training continues by going beyond the $scope, exploring deeper exploitation possibilities. Learners also tackle how static templates can be abused in insecure AngularJS implementations. Each section provides hands-on demonstrations and practical hacking scenarios to reinforce the concepts.

By the end, learners will understand AngularJS vulnerabilities, how to exploit them safely, and how to secure applications against template injection attacks.
