  - Angular is a development platform for building mobile and desktop web applications using
    TypeScript/JavaScript and other languages. Prior to 20.3.30, 21.2.22, and 22.1.4, Angular server-side
    rendering (SSR) in @angular/platform-server serializes ProcessingInstruction DOM nodes inside fallback
    raw-content elements without escaping matching ancestor closing tags. ProcessingInstruction data escaped
    greater-than characters but left less-than characters untouched and did not inspect fallback ancestors, so
    data such as a matching closing tag prematurely terminates noscript, iframe, noembed, or noframes
    containers. The vulnerable nodes cannot be authored through standard Angular templates; reachability
    requires application or library code using inject(DOCUMENT).createProcessingInstruction with attacker-
    controlled data or Renderer2 DOM insertion inside a fallback container. In HTML5 RAWTEXT parsing, the
    premature close causes subsequent sibling elements to be interpreted as live HTML and enables arbitrary
    JavaScript execution in a victim's browser. This issue is fixed in versions 20.3.30, 21.2.22, and 22.1.4.
