10 Patched Vulnerabilities
VEX Statements

Angular

v18.2.21 - April 30, 2026

Notes

Security Fixes

  • platform-server: Prevent SSRF bypasses via protocol-relative and backslash URLs.
    • This fixes a high-severity Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability (CVE-2026-41423).

v18.2.20 - March 27, 2026

Notes

Security Fixes

  • core: Sanitize translated form attributes and attribute bindings with interpolations.
    • This fixes a high-severity Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability (CVE-2026-32635).
  • compiler: Disallow translations of src attributes in iframes.
    • This fixes a high-severity Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability (CVE-2026-32635).

v18.2.19 - March 9, 2026

Notes

Security Fixes

  • core: Block creation of sensitive URI attributes from ICU messages.
    • This fixes a high-severity Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability (CVE-2026-27970).

Breaking Changes

core
  • Block creation of sensitive URI attributes from ICU messages:
    Translators can no longer introduce URI attributes—attribute values are blocked to avoid malicious links, and sanitization now relies on an allowlist of known attributes (still sanitizing URI ones). Translated ICU content keeps only recognized attributes and drops everything else.

v18.2.18 - January 8, 2026

Notes

Security Fixes

  • core: Sanitize sensitive attributes on SVG script elements.
    • This fixes a high-severity Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability (CVE-2026-22610).

v18.2.17 - December 9, 2025

Notes

Security Fixes

  • compiler: Prevent stored XSS via SVG animation attributeName and MathML/SVG URLs.
    • This fixes a high-severity Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability (CVE-2025-66412).

v18.2.16 - December 2, 2025

Notes

Security Fixes

  • common: Prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (XSRF) token leakage to protocol-relative URLs.
    • This fixes a high-severity Information Exposure vulnerability (CVE-2025-66035).

v18.2.15 - September 18, 2025

Notes

Security Fixes

  • core: Introduce BootstrapContext for improved server bootstrapping.
    • This fixes a high-severity Information Exposure vulnerability (CVE-2025-59052).

Breaking Changes

core
  • Introduce BootstrapContext for improved server bootstrapping:
    The server-side bootstrapping process has been changed to eliminate the reliance on a global platform injector and avoid potential exposure of sensitive data from other sessions.
    In addition, getPlatform() and destroyPlatform() will now return null and be a no-op respectively, when running in a server environment.
    Before:
    const bootstrap = () => bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, config);

    After:
    const bootstrap = (context: BootstrapContext) =>
  bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, config, context);

v18.2.14 - July 11, 2025

Notes

Angular CLI

v18.2.25 - April 20, 2026

Notes

v18.2.24 - April 17, 2026

Notes

Security Fixes

    • This fixes a critical-severity Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability (CVE-2026-27739).

18.2.23 (NES) - October, 2025

Notes
