Technical details
A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in @angular/platform-server's DOM emulation dependency, domino, during the serialization of raw-text elements like <script>, <style>, and <iframe>. The root cause is a Unicode index alignment bug where astral characters (such as emojis) occupy two UTF-16 code units, causing an offset shift in domino's replacement logic. This misalignment prevents the library from correctly escaping closing tags in dynamic text. An attacker can exploit this by providing a payload containing astral characters followed by a closing tag (e.g., 😀</iframe><script>alert(1)</script>), which breaks out of the raw-text context during Server-Side Rendering (SSR) and executes arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser. The issue is fixed in Angular versions 22.0.0-rc.2, 21.2.16, 20.3.24, and 19.2.25.
