CVE-2026-45756
Last modified
CVE-2026-45756 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. From 7.3.0-BETA1 until 7.4.12 and 8.0.12, the JsonPath component compiles attacker-controlled match() and search() filter patterns directly into preg_match() without a length cap, i-regexp restriction, or bounded backtracking, allowing catastrophic-backtracking expressions to pin worker CPU and cause denial of service. EPSS estimates a 0.57% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
