Summary

Angular before 20.3.30, 21.2.22, and 22.1.4 has a server-side rendering (SSR) vulnerability in @angular/platform-server. Serialization of ProcessingInstruction DOM nodes inside fallback raw-content elements fails to escape matching ancestor closing tags, allowing premature container termination and arbitrary JavaScript execution.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability can lead to arbitrary JavaScript execution in a victim's browser, potentially enabling session or data theft.

Recommendation

Upgrade Angular to version 20.3.30, 21.2.22, or 22.1.4 (or newer).

Original NVD description (English source)

Angular is a development platform for building mobile and desktop web applications using TypeScript/JavaScript and other languages. Prior to 20.3.30, 21.2.22, and 22.1.4, Angular server-side rendering (SSR) in @angular/platform-server serializes ProcessingInstruction DOM nodes inside fallback raw-content elements without escaping matching ancestor closing tags. ProcessingInstruction data escaped greater-than characters but left less-than characters untouched and did not inspect fallback ancestors, so data such as a matching closing tag prematurely terminates noscript, iframe, noembed, or noframes containers. The vulnerable nodes cannot be authored through standard Angular templates; reachability requires application or library code using inject(DOCUMENT).createProcessingInstruction with attacker-controlled data or Renderer2 DOM insertion inside a fallback container. In HTML5 RAWTEXT parsing, the premature close causes subsequent sibling elements to be interpreted as live HTML and enables arbitrary JavaScript execution in a victim's browser. This issue is fixed in versions 20.3.30, 21.2.22, and 22.1.4.
