Overview

symfony/symfony is a set of reusable PHP components.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Restriction Bypass. It maintained support for (legacy) IIS headers (X-Original-URL or X-Rewrite-URL) that allowed users to override the path in a request URL. As a result, it allowed a user to access one URL but have Symfony return a different one which can bypass restrictions on higher level caches and web servers.
