CVE-2026-45075: Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components

This month

HIGH 8.2REMOTEUPGRADE

CVE-2026-45075 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.2) affecting symfony. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. Prior to 7.4.12 and 8.0.12, method-scoped #[IsGranted], #[IsSignatureValid], and #[IsCsrfTokenValid] attributes can be configured for GET only, but Symfony routes HEAD requests to the GET handler while the attribute check is skipped, allowing protected controllers to execute and leak headers or perform side effects. This issue is fixed in versions 7.

Why this priority

High severity
Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action

A fixed release or distro patch exists.

sensiolabs symfony UPGRADE

Affected: >= 7.4.0 and < 7.4.12 · >= 8.0.0 and < 8.0.12

Fixed in: 7.4.12, 8.0.12

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 7.4.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy symfony || rpm -q symfony || symfony --version

2. UPGRADE to 7.4.12 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade symfony

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade symfony

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 7.4.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison symfony sudo apt install symfony=<VERSION_BEFORE_7.4.0> sudo apt-mark hold symfony

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list symfony sudo dnf downgrade symfony-<VERSION_BEFORE_7.4.0> sudo dnf versionlock add symfony

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
