Angular Stored XSS Vulnerability via SVG Animation, SVG URL and MathML Attributes

CVE-2025-66412 / GHSA-v4hv-rgfq-gp49

More information

Details

A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in the Angular Template Compiler. It occurs because the compiler's internal security schema is incomplete, allowing attackers to bypass Angular's built-in security sanitization. Specifically, the schema fails to classify certain URL-holding attributes (e.g., those that could contain javascript: URLs) as requiring strict URL security, enabling the injection of malicious scripts.

Additionally, a related vulnerability exists involving SVG animation elements (<animate>, <set>, <animateMotion>, <animateTransform>). The attributeName attribute on these elements was not properly validated, allowing attackers to dynamically target security-sensitive attributes like href or xlink:href on other elements. By binding attributeName to "href" and providing a javascript: URL in the values or to attribute, an attacker could bypass sanitization and execute arbitrary code.

Attributes confirmed to be vulnerable include:

  • SVG-related attributes: (e.g., xlink:href), and various MathML attributes (e.g., math|href, annotation|href).
  • SVG animation attributeName attribute when bound to "href" or "xlink:href".

When template binding is used to assign untrusted, user-controlled data to these attributes (e.g., [attr.xlink:href]="maliciousURL" or <animate [attributeName]="'href'" [values]="maliciousURL">), the compiler incorrectly falls back to a non-sanitizing context or fails to block the dangerous attribute assignment. This allows an attacker to inject a javascript:URL payload. Upon user interaction (like a click) on the element, or automatically in the case of animations, the malicious JavaScript executes in the context of the application's origin.

Impact

When exploited, this vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of the vulnerable application's domain. This enables:

  • Session Hijacking: Stealing session cookies and authentication tokens.
  • Data Exfiltration: Capturing and transmitting sensitive user data.
  • Unauthorized Actions: Performing actions on behalf of the user.
Patches
  • 19.2.17
  • 20.3.15
  • 21.0.2
Attack Preconditions
  • The victim's Angular application must render data derived from untrusted input (e.g., from a database or API) and bind it to one of the unsanitized URL attributes or the attributeName of an SVG animation element.
  • The victim must perform a user interaction (e.g., clicking) on the compromised element for the stored script to execute, or the animation must trigger the execution.
Workarounds

If you cannot upgrade, you can workaround the issue by ensuring that any data bound to the vulnerable attributes is never sourced from untrusted user input (e.g., database, API response, URL parameters).

  • Avoid Affected Template Bindings: Specifically avoid using template bindings (e.g., [attr.xlink:href]="maliciousURL") to assign untrusted data to the vulnerable SVG/MathML attributes.
  • Avoid Dynamic attributeName on SVG Animations: Do not bind untrusted data to the attributeName attribute of SVG animation elements (<animate>, <set>, etc.).
  • Enable Content Security Policy (CSP): Configure a robust CSP header that disallows javascript: URLs.

Angular has XSS Vulnerability via Unsanitized SVG Script Attributes

CVE-2026-22610 / GHSA-jrmj-c5cx-3cw6

More information

Details

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in the Angular Template Compiler. The vulnerability exists because Angular’s internal sanitization schema fails to recognize the href and xlink:href attributes of SVG <script> elements as a Resource URL context.

In a standard security model, attributes that can load and execute code (like a script's source) should be strictly validated. However, because the compiler does not classify these specific SVG attributes correctly, it allows attackers to bypass Angular's built-in security protections.

When template binding is used to assign user-controlled data to these attributes for example, <script [attr.href]="userInput"> the compiler treats the value as a standard string or a non-sensitive URL rather than a resource link. This enables an attacker to provide a malicious payload, such as a data:text/javascript URI or a link to an external malicious script.

Impact

When successfully exploited, this vulnerability allows for arbitrary JavaScript execution within the context of the victim's browser session. This can lead to:

  • Session Hijacking: Stealing session cookies, localStorage data, or authentication tokens.
  • Data Exfiltration: Accessing and transmitting sensitive information displayed within the application.
  • Unauthorized Actions: Performing state-changing actions (like clicking buttons or submitting forms) on behalf of the authenticated user.
Attack Preconditions
  1. The victim application must explicitly use SVG <script> elements within its templates.
  2. The application must use property or attribute binding (interpolation) for the href or xlink:href attributes of those SVG scripts.
  3. The data bound to these attributes must be derived from an untrusted source (e.g., URL parameters, user-submitted database entries, or unsanitized API responses).
Patches
  • 19.2.18
  • 20.3.16
  • 21.0.7
  • 21.1.0-rc.0
Workarounds

Until the patch is applied, developers should:

  • Avoid Dynamic Bindings: Do not use Angular template binding (e.g., [attr.href]) for SVG <script> elements.
  • Input Validation: If dynamic values must be used, strictly validate the input against a strict allowlist of trusted URLs on the server side or before it reaches the template.

Angular vulnerable to XSS in i18n attribute bindings

CVE-2026-32635 / GHSA-g93w-mfhg-p222

More information

Details

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in the Angular runtime and compiler. It occurs when the application uses a security-sensitive attribute (for example href on an anchor tag) together with Angular's ability to internationalize attributes. Enabling internationalization for the sensitive attribute by adding i18n-<attribute> name bypasses Angular's built-in sanitization mechanism, which when combined with a data binding to untrusted user-generated data can allow an attacker to inject a malicious script.

The following example illustrates the issue:

<a href="" i18n-href>Click me</a>

The following attributes have been confirmed to be vulnerable:

  • action
  • background
  • cite
  • codebase
  • data
  • formaction
  • href
  • itemtype
  • longdesc
  • poster
  • src
  • xlink:href
Impact

When exploited, this vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of the vulnerable application's domain. This enables:

  • Session Hijacking: Stealing session cookies and authentication tokens.
  • Data Exfiltration: Capturing and transmitting sensitive user data.
  • Unauthorized Actions: Performing actions on behalf of the user.
Attack Preconditions
  1. The application must use a vulnerable version of Angular.
  2. The application must bind unsanitized user input to one of the attributes mentioned above.
  3. The bound value must be marked for internationalization via the presence of a i18n-<name> attribute on the same element.
Patches
  • 22.0.0-next.3
  • 21.2.4
  • 20.3.18
  • 19.2.20
Workarounds

The primary workaround is to ensure that any data bound to the vulnerable attributes is never sourced from untrusted user input (e.g., database, API response, URL parameters) until the patch is applied, or when it is, it shouldn't be marked for internationalization.

Alternatively, users can explicitly sanitize their attributes by passing them through Angular's DomSanitizer:

import {Component, inject, SecurityContext} from '@&#8203;angular/core';
import {DomSanitizer} from '@&#8203;angular/platform-browser';

@&#8203;Component({
  template: `
    <form action="" i18n-action>
      <button>Submit</button>
    </form>
  `,
})
export class App {
  url: string;

  constructor() {
    const dangerousUrl = 'javascript:alert(1)';
    const sanitizer = inject(DomSanitizer);
    this.url = sanitizer.sanitize(SecurityContext.URL, dangerousUrl) || '';
  }
}

@​angular/compiler: Two-Way Property Binding Sanitization Bypass (XSS)

CVE-2026-54265 / GHSA-58w9-8g37-x9v5

More information

Details

An issue in the @angular/compiler package allows bypassing DOM property sanitization through the use of two-way property bindings.

Specifically, when a native DOM property that requires sanitization (such as innerHTML, srcdoc, src, href, data, or sandbox) is bound using the two-way binding syntax (e.g., [(innerHTML)]="value" or bindon-innerHTML="value"), the Angular template compiler failed to apply the appropriate schema-derived sanitizer resolution to the TwoWayProperty operation. As a result, native two-way DOM bindings were emitted without the required sanitizer function, whereas equivalent one-way bindings would be properly sanitized.

This flaw enables an attacker who can control the value of a two-way bound sensitive property to bypass Angular's built-in sanitization logic, potentially leading to client-side Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).

Impact

Any Angular application that uses two-way data binding ([()] or bindon-) on security-sensitive native DOM properties (like innerHTML, href on <a>, src on <img>/<iframe>, etc.) is vulnerable to this security bypass.

Once exploited, this allows a malicious actor to supply an unsanitized property binding value that bypasses core sanitization constraints. This could lead to the execution of arbitrary JavaScript within the target user's browser context, potentially resulting in session hijacking, sensitive data exposure, or unauthorized actions on behalf of the user.

Attack Preconditions

To successfully exploit this vulnerability, the following environment parameters and application states must concurrently exist:

  1. Two-Way Binding on Sensitive Properties: The application must bind to a sensitive native DOM property using the two-way binding syntax (e.g., <div [(innerHTML)]="userContent"></div>).
  2. User-Controlled Input: The value bound to this property must be influenceable by user-controlled input.
  3. Absence of Additional Sanitization: The application does not perform separate manual sanitization (e.g., via DomSanitizer) before passing the value to the bound property.

Angular: Template and Attribute Namespace Sanitization Bypass (XSS)

CVE-2026-50557 / GHSA-f3m7-gqxr-g87x

More information

Details

An issue in the @angular/compiler and @angular/core packages allows bypassing element and attribute sanitization/validation through specific namespace workarounds.

Specifically, namespaced script elements (e.g., <svg:script> or <:svg:script>) were not properly identified as script elements by the Angular template preparser, allowing them to pass through template compilation without being stripped.

Furthermore, security context schema mappings for element attributes did not consistently handle attributes within namespaced elements (like SVG and MathML), opening up gaps where malicious namespaced attributes could bypass runtime and compile-time sanitizers.

Combined, these flaws enable an attacker who can inject or supply a template/tag structure with custom namespaces to bypass Angular's script-stripping logic and attribute sanitizers, leading to client-side Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).

Impact

Any Angular application that compiles user-controlled templates at runtime, or relies on sanitization of namespaced elements/attributes, is vulnerable to this security bypass.

Once exploited, this allows a malicious actor to inject a namespaced script element or dynamic attribute bindings, bypassing core sanitization constraints to execute arbitrary JavaScript within the target user's browser context. This could lead to session hijacking, sensitive data exposure, or unauthorized actions on behalf of the user.

Attack Preconditions

To successfully exploit these vulnerabilities, the following environment parameters and application states must all concurrently exist:

  1. User-Controlled Template Input: The application must accept user-controlled inputs that are directly processed by the Angular template compiler at runtime.
  2. Namespace Parsing Support: The input structure must employ custom namespace prefixes (such as <svg:script>) to evade standard tag-name blocklists/checks.
  3. Absence of Additional Context Sanitization: The application does not perform separate input sanitization before feeding values to the Angular compiler.
