CVE-2026-45063 Details
Description
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.
A vulnerability in the Symfony framework's X509Authenticator component allows for identity spoofing by exploiting an unanchored regular expression used to extract user identifiers from the SSL client distinguished name (DN). This issue is present in Symfony versions prior to 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12. The vulnerability arises because the regex can match 'emailAddress=' anywhere in the DN, including within other RDN values like CN. An attacker with a trusted certificate can manipulate the DN to authenticate as a different user.
Users can upgrade to Symfony versions 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, or 8.0.12 to address this vulnerability.
