CVE-2026-68945
Description
A flaw was found in Angular's HttpTransferCache component. This component, used for caching HTTP requests during server-side rendering, incorrectly generates cache keys when repeated request parameters are present, causing semantically different requests to share the same cache key. This cache-key ambiguity can lead to cross-request response reuse and state poisoning, where a security-sensitive request might receive an incorrect or attacker-influenced cached response. This could result in an application displaying wrong information or operating with corrupted data, potentially leading to information disclosure.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
