Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. Prior to 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12, X509Authenticator extracts the user identifier from $_SERVER['SSL_CLIENT_S_DN'] with an unanchored regex that matches emailAddress= anywhere in the distinguished name, allowing an attacker with a trusted certificate containing emailAddress=victim inside another RDN value such as CN to authenticate as the victim. This issue is fixed in versions 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12.

Multiple Vulnerabilities in Symfony

The version of Symfony and/or its Symfony Monolog Bridge / MIME / Mailer / Routing / Security HTTP Components installed on the remote host is/are prior to 6.1.x prior to 6.4.40, 7.0.x prior to 7.4.12, 8.0.x prior to 8.0.12, and, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in Symfony Component's X509Authenticator client-certificate     (mTLS) authentication due to use of an unanchored regex to extract the emailAddress from the Subject DN     string. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted client certificate containing     an emailAddress string embedded within the CN (Common Name) field, to bypass authentication and impersonate     arbitrary users. (CVE-2026-45063)

  - An unsafe deserialization vulnerability exists in Symfony Monolog Bridge Component's ServerLogCommand     (server:log console command) due to binding to all network interfaces (0.0.0.0:9911) by default and     performing unauthenticated PHP object deserialization without an allowed_classes, allowlist, or integrity     checks. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via crafted serialized PHP payloads sent to     TCP port 9911, to cause a denial of service or potentially achieve remote code execution through PHP object     injection with magic-method side effects, depending on available gadget chains in the target environment.
    (CVE-2026-45077)

  - A CRLF injection vulnerability exists in Symfony MIME Component's Address class due to the constructor     accepting email addresses with quoted local-parts containing raw \r\n bytes, despite being documented as     validating input. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via crafted email addresses with     embedded CRLF sequences in the local-part (e.g., 'x\r\nBcc: attacker@evil'@example.com), to inject arbitrary     email headers and SMTP commands, enabling unauthorized email disclosure, spam relay, or other mail-system     abuse. (CVE-2026-45067)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number. Also note that this plugin does not distinguish between PHP packages installed via the OS package manager, PHP packages installed via Composer, or other sources. As a result, packages provided by your OS package repository may have backported fixes that this plugin may incorrectly report as vulnerable. Please refer to the OS-specific plugins for CVE-2026-45063, CVE-2026-45065, CVE-2026-45067, CVE-2026-45068, and CVE-2026-45077 to check for backported fixes.

The remote Debian 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-6317 advisory.

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in the Symfony PHP framework     which could lead to a bypass of security controls, cross-site scripting,     denial of service, SQL injection, email header injection, information     disclosure or code execution via PHP object deserialization.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed     in version 5.4.53+dfsg-0+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your symfony packages.
