No. The AngularJS site says support officially ended as of January 2022 and recommends switching to Angular. AngularJS is the 1.x line, and it is a different framework from modern Angular. It receives no fixes, so any flaw found now remains open.
Two frameworks, one confusing name
AngularJS is the original 1.x framework from 2010. Angular, with no JS, is the TypeScript rewrite that started with version 2. People mix the names, and so do dependency lists, which makes it easy to miss an old app.
If your package.json lists angular at 1.x, or your page loads angular.min.js from a script tag, you are on AngularJS. If it lists @angular/core, you are on Angular, where support follows a separate schedule.
Why it is risky
AngularJS evaluates templates and expressions in the browser. Without maintenance, any newly found weakness in that machinery stays open. Apps that render user supplied data inside templates are the most exposed.
Some third parties advertise paid support for AngularJS. If you consider that route, confirm in writing which versions and issue types it covers, and treat it as a bridge.
Your options
| Approach | Effort | Risk during migration |
|---|---|---|
| Big bang rewrite in Angular or another framework | High | Low once done, high delivery risk |
| Incremental migration, running both side by side | Medium to high | Both stay in the app for a while |
| Contain and wrap, keep as is behind strict controls | Low | Stays open |
| Retire the app | Low | None |
Most teams with a large app choose the incremental route: new screens in Angular, old screens migrated by feature, with a shared router so users do not notice.
Contain the risk in the meantime
- Never render untrusted input through AngularJS templates. Keep user data out of expressions.
- Add a strict Content Security Policy and test it in report only mode first.
- Serve the app only to the audience that needs it.
- Put a web application firewall rule set in front if you have one, knowing it will not catch everything.
- Write down an end date and an owner.
Migration steps
- Inventory every AngularJS app, including internal tools and old admin pages.
- Rank them by exposure: public first, internal last.
- Pick a migration path per app and write the target date.
- Upgrade to the last AngularJS version (1.8.3) as a first step if you are older, since it removes known fixed issues.
- Add tests around key flows before changing anything.
Quick check
Is Angular 17 the same as AngularJS?
No. Angular 2 and later are a rewrite. They have separate support schedules, and you should check the Angular release page for the current dates.
Does a CDN copy of angular.js count as part of my app?
Yes. A script tag that loads AngularJS from a CDN is a dependency, and it is just as unsupported.
Where Safeguard fits
Safeguard's dependency scanning reads package manifests, and a free scan can show whether a repository still lists the 1.x framework.
