Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

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 explicit client-defined safety parameters: the credentials configuration (such as credentials: 'omit') and the HTTP cache mode configuration (such as cache: 'no-store'). These are reverted back to standard browser-default parameters (credentials: 'same-origin' and default HTTP cache properties). This causes the browser to include active credentials (such as cookies or Authorization headers) on outbound requests where the client-side developer explicitly instructed they should be omitted, leading to potential session leaks. Additionally, it causes private or non-cacheable resources to be cached by the service worker's engine, making private…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-50184

Advisory: @angular/service-worker: Request Credential & Cache Policy Stripping
IDs: CVE-2026-50184, GHSA-95qp-cmmw-mgqv
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-50184 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:56 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.7)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Partial vendor fix; fixed versions by package: @angular/service-worker 22.0.0-rc.2, 21.2.15, 20.3.22, 19.2.23. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm @angular/service-worker: affected >= 22.0.0-next.0, < 22.0.0-rc.2; >= 21.0.0-next.0, < 21.2.15; >= 20.0.0-next.0, < 20.3.22; >= 19.0.0-next.0, < 19.2.23; <= 18.2.14; fixed in 22.0.0-rc.2, 19.2.23, 20.3.22, 21.2.15

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls @angular/service-worker --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on @angular/service-worker.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
