CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The Symfony PHP framework versions 6.4.24 to 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12 are vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks due to improper handling of non-PHP files in the development profiler. This vulnerability allows an attacker to craft a malicious file that, when opened by a developer, can execute arbitrary scripts within their browser session. Developers using the affected Symfony versions should prioritize upgrading to the patched releases to mitigate this security risk.

Original NVD Description

Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. From 6.4.24 until 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12, the development profiler file_excerpt Twig filter escapes PHP files through highlight_string() but interpolates lines from non-PHP files directly into <code> elements, allowing stored XSS against a developer who opens an attacker-written file such as var/log/dev.log in the profiler. This issue is fixed in versions 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12.
