UBUNTU-CVE-2026-48761
A vulnerability in the Symfony PHP framework versions from 6.1.0 up to but not including 6.4.41, 7.4.13, and 8.0.13 allows certain URL-bearing attributes on HTML elements like <object>, <applet>, <iframe>, <img>, and <meta http-equiv="refresh"> to bypass URL sanitization. This can result in javascript: and similar payloads passing into sanitized output. The issue is fixed in Symfony versions 6.4.41, 7.4.13, and 8.0.13.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Symfony's UrlAttributeSanitizer::getSupportedAttributes() omitted URL-bearing attributes on specific HTML elements, causing URLs inside these elements to bypass sanitization. This vulnerability affects Symfony versions from 6.1.0 until 6.4.41, 7.4.13, and 8.0.13. The flaw allows explicitly enabled elements or attributes to pass potentially unsafe javascript: and similar payloads into sanitized output. The issue has been fixed in versions 6.4.41, 7.4.13, and 8.0.13.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows malicious javascript: and similar payloads to bypass URL sanitization in affected Symfony versions, potentially enabling injection of unsafe scripts into sanitized output. This could lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) or other client-side code injection attacks if exploited.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in Symfony versions 6.4.41, 7.4.13, and 8.0.13. Users should upgrade to these or later versions to remediate the vulnerability. No vendor advisory indicates that no action is required or that the issue is already mitigated by other means.
