CVE-2026-49215 symfony CVE debrief

Who should care

Developers and administrators using Symfony UX versions between 2.22.0 and 2.36.0 or 3.1.0 should verify and apply patches to prevent potential cross-origin request forgery attacks. Affected operator, platform, vulnerability-management, and security-team impact should be reviewed and addressed.

Technical summary

The Symfony UX LiveComponentSubscriber is vulnerable to cross-origin request forgery due to improper handling of the Accept header in #[LiveAction] invocations. This issue allows forged cross-origin requests against a victim session when applications use SameSite=None, credentials: 'include', a permissive cookie policy, or a same-origin pivot. The vulnerability is fixed in versions 2.36.0 and 3.1.0. Affected product deployments should be identified and verified for exposure.

Defensive priority

Apply patches to Symfony UX versions between 2.22.0 and 2.36.0 or 3.1.0 to prevent potential cross-origin request forgery attacks. Review and adjust application configurations for SameSite and credentials policies.

Recommended defensive actions

• Apply patches to Symfony UX versions between 2.22.0 and 2.36.0 or 3.1.0
• Verify and update Symfony UX to version 2.36.0 or 3.1.0
• Review and adjust application configurations for SameSite and credentials policies
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
