Angular is a development platform for building mobile and desktop web applications using TypeScript/JavaScript and other languages. Prior to 20.3.28, 21.2.20, and 22.1.1, Angular's @angular/common HttpTransferCache can cache an authenticated response when Server-Side Rendering (SSR) and hydration use a hierarchical HttpClient configured with withRequestsMadeViaParent. The child TransferCache evaluates an initially anonymous request before delegation, then a parent withInterceptors chain adds an Authorization header, cookie, or API token; although the parent cache skips the authenticated request, the child still stores the private response in TransferState serialized as JSON in the ng-state script. Exploitation requires provideClientHydration, child provideHttpClient delegation through withRequestsMadeViaParent, parent-level credential injection, and an SSR HTML response shared across users by a CDN, reverse proxy, or application cache. A later unauthenticated or unauthorized visitor can receive the cached HTML containing the earlier authenticated user's sensitive response data. Applications can mitigate by attaching credentials at the child, filtering sensitive endpoints with withHttpTransferCacheOptions, disabling transfer caching for sensitive routes, or marking personalized HTML private or no-store. This issue is fixed in versions 20.3.28, 21.2.20, and 22.1.1.

Affected: npm: @angular/common

A security bypass vulnerability was discovered in `@angular/common` when Server-Side Rendering (SSR) and hydration are enabled in applications using a hierarchical `HttpClient` configuration with `withRequestsMadeViaParent()`.

The `HttpTransferCache` utility optimizes hydration by caching outgoing HTTP requests performed during SSR and transferring the cached state to the client-side application via `TransferState` (serialized as JSON in `<script id="ng-state">`). Following the remediation of [CVE-2026-50170](https://github.com/angular/angular/security/advisories/GHSA-q6f4-qqrg-jv6x), `HttpTransferCache` automatically skips caching requests that contain authentication headers or credentials (`Authorization`, `Cookie`, `withCredentials`, etc.).

However, when a child `HttpClient` delegates to a parent client via `withRequestsMadeViaParent()`, the child's `TransferCache` interceptor evaluates whether the request is eligible for caching **before** delegating to the parent client's interceptor chain.

If an outgoing request originates as anonymous from the child client, the child `TransferCache` marks the request as cacheable. When the request reaches a parent interceptor that injects sensitive authentication credentials (such as an `Authorization` header or API token), the parent `TransferCache` correctly skips caching the authenticated request. However, when the backend returns the private, authenticated response, the child `TransferCache` still stores the response in `Trans…
