Between January 1 and January 15, 2026, one update in our coverage shipped: an Angular security advisory for an XSS through unsanitized SVG script attributes, fixed in Angular 21.0.7, 20.3.16 and 19.2.18. It matters for Angular front ends, Ionic Angular apps and headless WordPress builds. Here is what shipped and what to do next.
Below is a quick summary table, then a section for each release covering what shipped, what it means for you, how we use it in WordPress builds, what it means for mobile apps and what to do next.

Angular security advisories
What shipped
The Angular team published these security advisories in this period:
- CVE-2026-22610 (high): XSS through unsanitized SVG script attributes, in @angular/core and @angular/compiler
What it means for you
These flaws are in the Angular framework, not in WordPress. They matter if you run an Angular front end, an Ionic Angular app or server side rendering in front of WordPress.
How we use it in WordPress builds
On headless WordPress front ends built with Angular, we update the @angular packages to the fixed version for the project's major line and rerun rendering, login and form tests.
What it means for mobile apps
Ionic Angular apps ship Angular inside the app, so a fix for code that runs in the app needs a rebuild and a new store submission.
What to do next
- Update to Angular 21.0.7, 20.3.16 or 19.2.18 or later.
- Ask our mobile app team to rebuild and resubmit an affected app.
