Vulnerability in symfony/routing (CVE-2026-48784)

Summary

Vulnerability in symfony/routing (CVE-2026-48784). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via strtr. Mitigation: upgrade to 8.0.13 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Description

Symfony\Component\Routing\Generator\UrlGenerator::doGenerate() percent-encodes . and .. path segments so that the generated URL still resolves to the originating route after RFC 3986 §5.2.4 dot-segment removal (which strict RFC-3986 consumers — routers, reverse proxies, HTTP clients — perform before percent-decoding).

The encoding was implemented as strtr($url, ['/../' => '/%2E%2E/', '/./' => '/%2E/']) plus a trailing-segment fixup. strtr advances past the trailing / of each match, so the next dot-segment in a chained sequence was left unescaped:

Input Output (before fix) Expected
/../../../ /%2E%2E/../%2E%2E/ /%2E%2E/%2E%2E/%2E%2E/
/foo/../../../bar /foo/%2E%2E/../%2E%2E/bar /foo/%2E%2E/%2E%2E/%2E%2E/bar

When a route exposes a parameter constrained by a permissive requirement (.+, .*, or similar) that accepts dots and slashes, attacker-controlled chained .. or . segments produce a generated URL that, under strict RFC 3986 normalization, collapses to a different path than the originating route. The Twig path() / url() helpers and any server-side use of UrlGenerator are affected. Same class of route round-trip integrity issue as CVE-2026-45065.

Response actions

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

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r 'symfony/routing' . | 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/routing 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/routing 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。
