CVE-2026-88056

/// Technical description

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 in @angular/platform-server processes user-controlled resource or request URLs through HttpClient after application code validates them with WHATWG URL parsing. The resolveUrl and parseUrl utilities called String.prototype.trim(), which removed leading Unicode whitespace such as U+00A0 or U+FEFF after the input passed a same-origin check, converting a relative path into a protocol-relative attacker-controlled URL. In affected applications that attach sensitive server-side credentials such as Authorization headers to approved requests, relativeUrlsTransformerInterceptorFn then dispatched the request to the attacker-controlled origin, causing SSRF and credential disclosure. This issue is fixed in versions 20.3.30, 21.2.22, and 22.1.4.

/// Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from angular. Update angular to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
