@angular/compilernpmDescription
Angular is a development platform for building mobile and desktop web applications using TypeScript/JavaScript and other languages. Prior to 20.3.27, 21.2.19, and 22.0.1, the Angular compiler i18n pipeline permits i18n-onerror and other i18n-on event-handler attributes, allowing a lower-trust translation file to replace a static handler with executable JavaScript. This issue is fixed in versions 20.3.27, 21.2.19, and 22.0.1.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @angular/compiler, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update @angular/compiler to 22.0.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-69151 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-69151 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2026-69151. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2026-69151 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds CVE-2026-69151 across npm dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
