CVE-2026-45072 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:unstable symfony to version 7.4.12+dfsg-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream symfony package and not the symfony package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.
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.
