How to Fix CVE-2016-10524

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected I18n node angular dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

i18n-node-angular fixed: 1.4.0 
npm install i18n-node-angular@1.4.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls i18n-node-angular

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2016-10524, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls i18n-node-angular

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of I18n node angular in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.4.0), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls i18n-node-angular command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
