Angular i18n: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via event-handler attributes

CVE-2026-69151 / GHSA-jj27-h5hq-8x99

More information

Details

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in the Angular compiler's internationalization (i18n) pipeline. Although Angular disallows binding to event-handler attributes such as onclick and onerror through standard attribute validation (validateAttribute() / validateProperty()), the i18n metadata collection path allowed these same attribute names to be marked for translation using i18n-on* attributes (e.g., i18n-onerror).

When exploited, a lower-trust translation file could replace a benign static handler such as onerror="void 0" with arbitrary executable JavaScript in the localized build.

The following example illustrates a vulnerable pattern:

<img src="foo.jpg" onerror="void 0" i18n-onerror />
Impact

When exploited, this vulnerability allows arbitrary JavaScript execution within the context of the vulnerable application's domain if an attacker can control or influence the translation files used during localization. This can lead to:

  • Session Hijacking: Accessing session cookies, tokens, or sensitive user data.
  • Unauthorized Actions: Performing actions on behalf of the authenticated user.
Patched Versions
  • 22.0.1
  • 21.2.19
  • 20.3.27
Workarounds

Ensure that static event-handler attributes (e.g., onerror, onclick) are never marked for internationalization (i18n-on*) in application templates, and ensure translation files are sourced from trusted origins.

Angular Client Hydration DOM Clobbering & Response-Cache Poisoning

CVE-2026-54267 / GHSA-rgjc-h3x7-9mwg

More information

Details

To optimize client-side bootstrap in Server-Side Rendered (SSR) environments, Angular supports Hydration via provideClientHydration(). During SSR, Angular serializes the application's runtime state (such as cached HttpClient responses) and outputs it into the HTML stream as a <script> tag with a predictable identifier:

<script type="application/json" id="ng-state">
    {"some-api-url": {"body": ...}}
</script>

During client bootstrap, Angular recovers this state by looking up the element via document.getElementById('ng-state') and parsing its text content.

Because the DOM element lookup for the state container is predictable and relies solely on the ID selector (ng-state), it is susceptible to DOM Clobbering.

If the application binds untrusted user input or CMS content to element properties such as id (e.g., <div [id]="userInput"> or <a id="ng-state">) before the genuine <script> tag is parsed by the browser, the attacker-controlled element takes precedence in the DOM lookup.

During hydration, when Angular calls document.getElementById('ng-state'), the browser returns the attacker's clobbered element. Angular then attempts to parse the text content or attributes of this clobbered element as JSON.

Impact

By clobbering the state element, the attacker can inject a custom JSON payload into Angular's TransferState cache. The most critical exploitation vector is poisoning the HTTP Transfer Cache.

  1. The attacker injects a clobbered ng-state element containing custom JSON.
  2. The JSON maps a key (representing a target API endpoint URL) to a malicious payload of the attacker's choice.
  3. During client-side initialization, Angular's HttpClient checks TransferState before making requests. Finding the poisoned key, HttpClient returns the forged response instantly instead of requesting the genuine backend API.

Depending on how the application processes and renders the affected API response, this can lead to:

  • DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) if poisoned fields are rendered using unsafe bindings.
  • Privilege Escalation by spoofing user info or session details retrieved from poisoned API payloads.
  • UI Hijacking and redirection by spoofing configuration endpoints.
Patched Versions
  • 22.0.1
  • 21.2.17
  • 20.3.25
Workarounds

If you cannot immediately update to a patched Angular version, apply the following workarounds:

A. Avoid Dynamic/User-Controlled IDs

Avoid binding raw user-supplied values or dynamic CMS IDs directly to element attributes. If dynamic IDs are required, sanitize them or prepend a static safe prefix:

<!-- Vulnerable Pattern -->
<div [id]="userControlledInput">...</div>

<!-- Mitigated Pattern -->
<div [id]="'safe-prefix-' + userControlledInput">...</div>
B. Configure a Custom Application ID

Declaring a unique, non-predictable APP_ID changes the ID suffix of the state element, making it harder for attackers to predict and target:

// app.config.ts

import { APP_ID } from '@angular/core';
import { provideClientHydration } from '@angular/platform-browser';

export const appConfig = {
  providers: [
    { provide: APP_ID, useValue: 'unique-obfuscated-app-id' },
    provideClientHydration()
  ]
};

This changes the state element lookup ID from ng-state to unique-obfuscated-app-id-state.
