feat($parse): revert hiding "private" properties
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
Hiding `_*` properties was a feature primarily for developers using Closure compiler and Google JS
style. We didn't realize how many people will be affected by this change.

We might introduce this feature in the future, probably under a config option, but it needs more
research and so I'm reverting the change for now.

This reverts commit 3d6a89e.

Closes angular#4926
Closes angular#4842

// ------------------------------
// Angular expressions are generally considered safe because these expressions only have direct
// access to $scope and locals. However, one can obtain the ability to execute arbitrary JS code by
// obtaining a reference to native JS functions such as the Function constructor, the global Window
// or Document object. In addition, many powerful functions for use by JavaScript code are
// published on scope that shouldn't be available from within an Angular expression.
// obtaining a reference to native JS functions such as the Function constructor.
//
// As an example, consider the following Angular expression:
//
// {}.toString.constructor(alert("evil JS code"))
//
// We want to prevent this type of access. For the sake of performance, during the lexing phase we
// disallow any "dotted" access to any member named "constructor" or to any member whose name begins
// or ends with an underscore. The latter allows one to exclude the private / JavaScript only API
// available on the scope and controllers from the context of an Angular expression.
// disallow any "dotted" access to any member named "constructor".
//
// For reflective calls (a[b]), we check that the value of the lookup is not the Function
// constructor, Window or DOM node while evaluating the expression, which is a stronger but more
// expensive test. Since reflective calls are expensive anyway, this is not such a big deal compared
// to static dereferencing.

// This sandboxing technique is not perfect and doesn't aim to be. The goal is to prevent exploits
// against the expression language, but not to prevent exploits that were enabled by exposing
