What is CVE-2026-33397?

The Angular SSR tool is subject to an Open Redirect vulnerability that arises from an incomplete fix of a previous issue. This flaw allows for manipulation of the X-Forwarded-Prefix header by attackers, enabling them to deliver a backslash, which the internal validation fails to recognize as invalid. Consequently, this creates the potential for an attacker to redirect users to malicious domains through a protocol-relative URL. Moreover, the absence of the Vary: X-Forwarded-Prefix header facilitates web cache poisoning, making this issue critical for web applications relying on Angular SSR. Developers are advised to implement appropriate sanitization for incoming headers to mitigate the risks posed by this vulnerability.

Affected Version(s)

angular-cli >= 22.0.0-next.0, < 22.0.0-next.2 < 22.0.0-next.0, 22.0.0-next.2
