Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Angular is a development platform for building mobile and desktop web applications using TypeScript/JavaScript and other languages. Angular uses a DI container (the "platform injector") to hold request-specific state during server-side rendering. For historical reasons, the container was stored as a JavaScript module-scoped global variable. When multiple requests are processed concurrently, they could inadvertently share or overwrite the global injector state. In practical terms, this can lead to one request responding with data meant for a completely different request, leaking data or tokens included on the rendered page or in response headers. As long as an attacker had network access to send any traffic that received a rendered response, they may have been able to send a large number of requests and then inspect the responses for information leaks. The APIs `bootstrapApplication`, `getPlatform`, and `destroyPlatform` were vulnerable and required SSR-only breaking changes. The issue has been patched in all active release lines as well as in the v21 prerelease. Patched packages include `@angular/platform-server` 21.0.0-next.3, 20.3.0, 19.2.15, and 18.2.14 and `@angular/ssr` 21.0.0-next.3, 20.3.0, 19.2.16, and 18.2.21. Several workarounds are available. Disable SSR via Server Routes or builder options, remove any asynchronous behavior from custom `bootstrap` functions, remove uses of `getPlatform()` in application code, and/or ensure that the server build defines `ngJitMode` as false.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-362

Two operations that should be atomic can interleave, so an attacker who wins a narrow timing window reaches an inconsistent, exploitable state. These bugs are subtle and easy to miss in review. Fixing them properly means correct locking or atomic operations around the shared resource.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to the latest patch version within your current Angular major release line (18.2.14+, 19.2.15+, 20.3.0+, or 21.0.0-next.3+)

  1. 1. Identify the current version of @angular/platform-server and/or @angular/ssr in your project by running: npm list @angular/platform-server @angular/ssr
  2. 2. For Angular v18.x projects: Upgrade @angular/platform-server to version 18.2.14 or later, and @angular/ssr to version 18.2.21 or later
  3. 3. For Angular v19.x projects: Upgrade @angular/platform-server to version 19.2.15 or later, and @angular/ssr to version 19.2.16 or later
  4. 4. For Angular v20.x projects: Upgrade @angular/platform-server to version 20.3.0 or later, and @angular/ssr to version 20.3.0 or later
  5. 5. For Angular v21 (prerelease) projects: Upgrade @angular/platform-server and @angular/ssr to version 21.0.0-next.3 or later
  6. 6. Run npm install to install the updated packages
  7. 7. Rebuild and test your server-side rendering functionality to ensure the application works correctly with the patched versions
Caveat The vulnerability required SSR-only breaking changes to the bootstrap APIs. After upgrading, thoroughly test SSR functionality including any custom bootstrap logic, getPlatform() usage, and asynchronous behavior to ensure compatibility with the fixes.
