{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-50169","details":"Angular is a development platform for building mobile and desktop web applications using TypeScript/JavaScript and other languages. Prior to 22.0.0-rc.2, 21.2.15 20.3.22, and 19.2.23, an issue in the @angular/service-worker package compromises the integrity of request-policy enforcement during request reconstruction. When the Angular Service Worker intercepts network requests for matched assets, it reconstructs a new Request object using an internal helper function. During this reconstruction process, the helper function strips the strict, client-defined request redirect policy configuration (such as redirect: 'error'), falling back to the browser's default 'follow' strategy. If the target web application makes client-side requests with a strict policy (e.g., expecting a network error instead of automatically following redirects), the service worker will bypass this instruction and automatically follow HTTP 3xx redirects to other destinations. This acts as an unintended proxy/intermediary (\"Confused Deputy\") and can result in cookie/credential exposure or same-origin session-restricted data leakage if public dynamic routes redirect to sensitive routes. This vulnerability is fixed in 22.0.0-rc.2, 21.2.15, 20.3.22, and 19.2.23.","modified":"2026-06-29T13:50:31.752292740Z","published":"2026-06-22T18:16:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-50169"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-50169"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-50169"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"angular.js","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/angular.js?arch=source&distro=esm-infra%2Fxenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.2.28-1ubuntu2","1.2.28-1ubuntu2+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libjs-angularjs","binary_version":"1.2.28-1ubuntu2+esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-50169.json"}},{"package":{"name":"angular.js","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/angular.js?arch=source&distro=esm-infra%2Fbionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.5.10-1","1.5.10-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.5.10-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","binary_name":"libjs-angularjs"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-50169.json"}},{"package":{"name":"angular.js","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/angular.js?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Ffocal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.5.10-1","1.7.9-1","1.7.9-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.7.9-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","binary_name":"libjs-angularjs"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-50169.json"}},{"package":{"name":"angular.js","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/angular.js?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.8.2-2","1.8.2-2ubuntu0.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libjs-angularjs","binary_version":"1.8.2-2ubuntu0.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-50169.json"}},{"package":{"name":"angular.js","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/angular.js?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.8.3-1","1.8.3-1ubuntu0.24.04.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.8.3-1ubuntu0.24.04.1","binary_name":"libjs-angularjs"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-50169.json"}},{"package":{"name":"angular.js","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/angular.js?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.8.3-1","1.8.3-3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libjs-angularjs","binary_version":"1.8.3-3"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-50169.json"}},{"package":{"name":"angular.js","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/angular.js?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.8.3-3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.8.3-3","binary_name":"libjs-angularjs"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-50169.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:P/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
