Description
When using symfony/ux-live-component, methods annotated with #[LiveAction] are invokable from the browser and mutate server-side state via AJAX. Symfony\UX\LiveComponent\EventListener\LiveComponentSubscriber::isLiveComponentRequest() gated these invocations on the presence of Accept: application/vnd.live-component+html, with a code comment stating that this acted as a CSRF protection.
The Accept header is a CORS-safelisted request header, so a cross-origin fetch() can set it without triggering a preflight. The header therefore provided no CSRF protection. Any #[LiveAction] could be forged cross-origin against a victim's session.
In practice the attack is mitigated by SameSite=Lax session cookies (Symfony's default), but applications using SameSite=None, credentials: 'include' with a permissive cookie policy, or that have been pivoted from another same-origin vector remained exposed.
Resolution
isLiveComponentRequest() now additionally requires the request header X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest. This header is not CORS-safelisted, so the browser issues a preflight OPTIONS request for any cross-origin attempt; Symfony does not advertise CORS for LiveComponent endpoints, the preflight fails, and the real request is blocked before it reaches the application. The bundled Stimulus client already sends X-Requested-With on every LiveComponent request (`RequestBui…
