CVE-2026-11998 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 7.6
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L).
How to Fix CVE-2026-11998
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Angular dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install angular@Latest secure release
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls angular
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2026-11998, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls angular
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Angular in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls angular command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-791: Incomplete Filtering of Special Elements, where the product receives data from an upstream component, but does not completely filter special elements before sending it to a downstream component. In Angular, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.
