CVE-2026-52725: @angular/core: Angular Template and Dynamic Component Namespace Bypass leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
(updated )
An issue in the @angular/core package allows bypassing script-execution restrictions during dynamic component creation.
Specifically, the dynamic component instantiation mechanism (createComponent) failed to reject mounting components directly onto a <script> or namespaced script element (such as <svg:script>). This enabled the initialization of custom components on a tag that executes scripts, allowing attackers to hijack or inject script-executing hosts.
This flaw enables an attacker who can control the host element or selector parameter passed to createComponent to initialize or mount an Angular component directly onto a <script> tag, leading to execution of untrusted code or client-side Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
