Vulnerability in symfony/mailomat-mailer (CVE-2026-48747)

Summary

Vulnerability in symfony/mailomat-mailer (CVE-2026-48747). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via md4. Mitigation: upgrade to 8.0.13 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Description

Symfony\Component\Mailer\Bridge\Mailomat\Webhook\MailomatRequestParser::validateSignature() parses the X-MOM-Webhook-Signature request header as algo=signature and passes the wire-supplied $algo directly to hash_hmac() when verifying the request against the configured webhook secret. The request therefore selects the HMAC primitive used to authenticate it.

PHP's hash_hmac() enforces only that the chosen algorithm is HMAC-compatible. That set still includes primitives with known cryptanalysis (md4, md5, ripemd128, tiger128,3, … — e.g. existential forgery of HMAC-MD4, Contini & Yin, ASIACRYPT 2006). This is the canonical algorithm-confusion shape, analogous to JWT alg=none / alg=HS256 downgrades: any future cryptographic weakness in any HMAC primitive PHP exposes becomes immediately exploitable against a Mailomat webhook receiver, the moment an attacker is in a position to compute a signature for that primitive, without a code change on the Symfony side.

Mailomat's documented webhook security pins SHA-256; the parser did not.

Resolution

MailomatRequestParser::validateSignature() now requires the signature header to be of the form sha256= and verifies the signature with HMAC-SHA256 keyed by the configured secret using a constant-time comparison. Any other algorithm declared on the wire (including the HMAC primitives PHP would otherwise accept) is rejected.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r 'symfony/mailomat-mailer' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で symfony/mailomat-mailer を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Apply patch patch
    Upgrade symfony/mailomat-mailer to 8.0.13

    ステージング環境で 8.0.13 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。

  3. 3
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Confirm patched version is live in production

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
