AI-suggested

The vulnerability is fixed in Angular versions 22.1.1, 21.2.20, and 20.3.28. Users should upgrade to these or later versions to remediate the issue. No vendor advisory content contradicts this; thus, upgrading is the recommended action.

Description

A vulnerability in Angular's @angular/common HttpTransferCache affects versions prior to 20.3.28, 21.2.20, and 22.1.1. When using Server-Side Rendering with hydration and a hierarchical HttpClient configuration, authenticated response data can be cached prematurely and leaked to unauthorized users. This occurs because child HttpClient instances mark requests as cacheable before authentication headers are applied by parent interceptors. The issue is fixed in versions 22.1.1, 21.2.20, and 20.3.28.
