SCA: security update for @angular/platform-server (GHSA-xrxm-cp7j-8xf6)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 443214

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, 21.2.15, 20.3.22, and 19.2.23, an issue
 in the @angular/platform-server package allows remote attackers to bypass host allowlist constraints and
 direct server-side outgoing requests to arbitrary external endpoints. This occurs due to a parser
 differential between the strict WHATWG URL parser used for allowlist validation and the lenient Domino URL
 parser used to initialize the server emulated DOM. When a server-side request contains a malformed URL
 with a double port structure (e.g., http://evil.com:80:80/path), Node's strict URL.canParse(url) logic
 returns false and skips host check validation entirely. However, the same malformed URL is later accepted
 and parsed leniently by Domino's internal parser, which resolves the origin to http://evil.com:80. The
 Angular SSR HTTP request interceptor (relativeUrlsTransformerInterceptorFn) then resolves all relative
 backend HTTP requests against this adopted origin, executing the SSRF attack. This vulnerability is fixed
 in 22.0.0-rc.2, 21.2.15, 20.3.22, and 19.2.23. (CVE-2026-50168)

Solution

Update the @angular/platform-server library and its related packages to version 19.2.23 or later.
