SCA: security update for @angular/platform-server (GHSA-gxx4-3xcv-f8qx)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443197

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Angular is a development platform for building mobile and desktop web applications using
TypeScript/JavaScript and other languages. Prior to 22.0.0-rc.2, 21.2.16, 20.3.24, and 19.2.25, a Cross-
Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in @angular/platform-server's DOM emulation dependency (domino)
when serializing the content of <noscript> elements. When rendering dynamic text content inside a
<noscript> element via template bindings (such as {{ value }} or [textContent]), the template engine
expects the browser to render the content safely. Under Server-Side Rendering (SSR), domino is configured
with scripting enabled, meaning <noscript> is treated as a raw-text element. However, domino's serializer
completely omitted <noscript> from the list of raw-text elements requiring closing-tag escaping during DOM
serialization. As a result, any occurrence of </noscript> in the bound dynamic text was never escaped
under any circumstances. The unescaped closing tag was serialized directly into the output HTML (e.g.
<noscript></noscript><script>alert(1)</script></noscript>). When parsed by a browser, it closes the
<noscript> block early, allowing the injected <script> block to execute in the user's browser context,
causing same-origin Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). This vulnerability is fixed in 22.0.0-rc.2, 21.2.16,
20.3.24, and 19.2.25. (CVE-2026-50556)

Solution

Update the @angular/platform-server library and its related packages to version 19.2.25 or later.
