Ionic 2 + Angular 2: Images prepended with ‘unsafe:’ therefore not displaying even though they’re fine

For anyone experiencing this issue, I have ‘solved’ it by using the following:

Class:

import {DomSanitizationService} from '@angular/platform-browser';

constructor(private _DomSanitizationService: DomSanitizationService) {}

Template:

<img [src]="_DomSanitizationService.bypassSecurityTrustUrl(imgSrcProperty)"/>

Where imgSrcProperty is the offending image base64 encoded.

I still think this is a bug!
