CVE-2026-45305 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, Symfony\Component\Yaml\Parser::cleanup() used regular expressions with overlapping quantifiers for YAML directive, comment, and document marker cleanup, allowing crafted input to make parsing hang for an arbitrarily long time. This issue is fixed in versions 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in the Symfony YAML component's parser. The issue arises in the `Parser::cleanup()` method, which uses regular expressions with overlapping quantifiers to clean up YAML directives, comments, and document markers. This flaw allows specially crafted input to cause the parsing process to hang indefinitely. The vulnerability affects Symfony versions prior to 5.4.52, as well as 6.4.0 through 6.4.39, 7.0.0 through 7.4.11, and 8.0.0 through 8.0.11.
Users can upgrade to Symfony versions 5.4.52, 6.4.40, 7.4.12, or 8.0.12 to address this vulnerability.
