SCA: security update for symfony/html-sanitizer, symfony/symfony (GHSA-h5vq-qfcg-4m6p)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442402

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. From
6.1.0-BETA1 until 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12, UrlSanitizer::parse() passes Unicode explicit-direction BiDi
formatting characters through into sanitized href and src attributes, allowing sanitized content to
display a link destination that visually differs from the actual destination and enabling phishing-style
visual spoofing. This issue is fixed in versions 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12. (CVE-2026-45064)

Solution

Update the symfony/html-sanitizer library and its related packages to version 6.4.40 or later.
