CVE-2026-45072
Last modified
CVE-2026-45072 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.4/10 on the CVSS scale. Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. From 6.4.24 until 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12, the development profiler file_excerpt Twig filter escapes PHP files through highlight_string() but interpolates lines from non-PHP files directly into <code> elements, allowing stored XSS against a developer who opens an attacker-written file such as var/log/dev.log in the profiler. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
