Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. Prior to 5.4.53, 6.4.41, 7.4.13, and 8.0.13, DefaultAuthenticationFailureHandler honored the request-supplied _failure_path parameter when failure_forward: true was enabled, allowing an unauthenticated failing login request to dispatch a subrequest to access_control-protected GET routes that skipped firewall listeners. This issue is fixed in versions 5.4.53, 6.4.41, 7.4.13, and 8.0.13.
CVE-2026-48489
This high-severity CVE scores 7.5 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.5%, top 63% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
