Vulnerabilities

Angular is a development platform for building mobile and desktop web applications using TypeScript/JavaScript and other languages. Prior to 20.3.27, 21.2.19, and 22.0.2, HttpTransferCache comma-joins repeated request parameters, allowing semantically distinct HttpClient requests to use the same transfer-cache key and reuse a wrong backend response. This issue is fixed in versions 20.3.27, 21.2.19, and 22.0.2.

Angular is a development platform for building mobile and desktop web applications using TypeScript/JavaScript and other languages. Prior to 22.0.0-next.12, 21.2.13, 20.3.21, and 19.2.22, a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in @angular/platform-server. The issue stems from how the server-side rendering (SSR) engine processes the request URL provided to the rendering entry points. When an absolute-form URL (e.g., http://evil.com) is passed to the rendering engine, the internal ServerPlatformLocation can be manipulated into adopting the attacker-controlled domain as the "current" hostname. Consequently, any relative HttpClient requests or PlatformLocation.hostname references are redirected to the attacker controlled server, potentially exposing internal APIs or metadata services. This vulnerability is fixed in 22.0.0-next.12, 21.2.13, 20.3.21, and 19.2.22.

The Angular Language Service VS Code Extension provides a rich editing experience for Angular templates. the client-side Angular Language Service VS Code extension configures the tooltip Markdown renderer with the isTrusted: true option (located in client/src/client.ts). This setting instructs VS Code to trust all rendered content it receives, which enables active elements such as command: URIs. However, the background Angular Language Server process fails to escape or sanitize brackets, raw links, and control characters from JSDoc strings before forwarding the hover Markdown content (located in server/src/handlers/hover.ts and server/src/text_render.ts). An attacker can leverage this behavior by crafting a project TypeScript or JavaScript file (or a third-party npm package dependency) containing a malicious JSDoc tooltip with an embedded active command link. When a developer hovers over the target symbol to render the tooltip and clicks the malicious link, the IDE executes the command sequence directly on the developer's host machine. Prior to 21.2.4, This vulnerability is fixed in 21.2.4.
