🚨 New CVE Alert: CVE-2026-27739 (CVSS 9.2 – Critical) A critical SSRF and header injection vulnerability has been disclosed in Angular’s Server-Side Rendering (SSR) pipeline — and it’s more serious than it looks. The issue stems from Angular trusting user-controlled Host and X-Forwarded-* headers when reconstructing request URLs. An attacker can manipulate those headers to: • Redirect server-side API calls to attacker-controlled domains • Exfiltrate Authorization headers, API keys, or session cookies • Probe internal network resources (including cloud metadata endpoints) • Turn your SSR server into an open proxy This affects @angular/ssr versions prior to 19.2.21, 20.3.17, and 21.1.5. Angular 18 and below? No community patch available. If you’re running Angular SSR: ✔️ Patch immediately if you’re on a supported version ✔️ Implement strict header validation if you can’t upgrade ✔️ Or use HeroDevs Never-Ending Support (NES) for patched drop-in replacements on EOL versions This isn’t a misconfiguration. It’s a framework-level flaw in how SSR reconstructs request origins. If you are running Angular SSR on an end-of-life version (18.x and below), you need to act now. #Angular #CVE #AppSec #OpenSourceSecurity #SSRF #DevSecOps #HeroDevs
