SCA: security update for symfony/json-path, symfony/symfony (GHSA-8v8v-g73j-492j)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442436

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
 7.3.0-BETA1 until 7.4.12 and 8.0.12, the JsonPath component compiles attacker-controlled match() and
 search() filter patterns directly into preg_match() without a length cap, i-regexp restriction, or bounded
 backtracking, allowing catastrophic-backtracking expressions to pin worker CPU and cause denial of
 service. This issue is fixed in versions 7.4.12 and 8.0.12. (CVE-2026-45756)

Solution

Update the symfony/json-path library and its related packages to version 7.4.12 or later.
