A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability was identified in when Server-Side Rendering (SSR) is enabled on Node.js (V8) and directives are rendered with or , configured either per link or globally via . Starting in v21.2.0 ([angular/angular#66181](https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/66181)), internals were refactored to use signals, introducing a computed signal ( ) that cached the returned instance on the directive. Because each rendered link maintains an active instance for the entire duration of the request lifecycle, the computed signal permanently pinned the and its associated query parameter dictionary in the heap until the SSR response completed. When query parameter handling is set to or , each link copies the incoming request's query parameters into its own . During SSR, memory consumption scales multiplicatively: $$\text{Heap Retention} \approx (\text{Number of affected links}) \times (\text{Size of parsed query parameter map})$$ Because parsed JavaScript objects and property dictionaries require substantially more heap space than the raw query string—particularly when property names trigger dense array allocations under V8 property-storage heuristics—an attacker can supply oversized query strings to amplify heap consumption by orders of magnitude per in-flight request. ### Impact Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to exhaust the Node.js old-space heap with modest concurrent request volume, terminating the SSR worker with an unrecoverable JavaScript heap out of memory fatal crash. * **Numeric Names Not Required:** Numeric query parameter names trigger larger V8 property-storage allocations (~558 KB per parsed dictionary in tests vs. ~197 KB for non-numeric equivalents), lowering the concurrency threshold needed for a crash. However, non-numeric query parameters also produce significant heap amplification and can exhaust worker memory with proportionally higher concurrency. * **Client-side SPAs Unaffected:** Pure client-side

How to fix CVE-2026-111751

What to do

Three questions, each answered from this record only. Confirm the vendor advisory before you patch.

Should you patch?

Exploitation likelihood is not on this record for CVE-2026-111751. A missing EPSS score is not a low risk. Compare @angular/router: Denial of Service with the linked advisory before you change production.

Which versions are affected?

Compare what you have installed with 21.2.0 → 21.2.25, 22.0.0 → 22.2.1, >= 21.2.0, < 21.2.25, >= 22.0.0, < 22.2.1. Compare the installed version with the linked vendor advisory before you change production.

What should an analyst verify?

CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption; CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling. EPSS is absent from the current FIRST dataset. There is no CISA KEV listing. No Exploit-DB or Metasploit reference is linked. Use the source links for the original advisory.
