Angular SSR: Path Traversal to Sibling Directories in CommonEngine on Windows
Get instant alerts when new vulnerabilities affect angular-cli - before attackers find them.
The Angular SSR is a server-rise rendering tool for Angular applications. Prior to versions 20.3.36, 21.2.23, and 22.1.7, the CommonEngine retrieveSSGPage prerendered-page retrieval logic in @angular/ssr/node, and in @angular/ssr for versions 17 through 18, accepts a relative request URL containing a backslash parent-traversal segment on Windows. The non-special resolve:// URL base preserves the backslash, path.join interprets it as a Windows separator, and the pagePath.startsWith(normalize(publicPath)) check incorrectly accepts a sibling output directory whose name shares the configured public-directory prefix. An unauthenticated requester can therefore retrieve a sibling prerendered HTML page when that page contains the Angular SSG marker. The issue is limited to Windows deployments that pass relative request URLs to CommonEngine.render, have a prefix-sharing sibling output directory, and contain qualifying prerendered Angular HTML; it does not provide arbitrary file read. This issue is fixed in versions 20.3.36, 21.2.23, and 22.1.7.

No remediation guidance has been written for this CVE yet, and no fixed version or vendor advisory is recorded against it.
SSVC signals action urgency (what to patch first), separate from CVSS which measures severity.
