CVE-2026-45064
CWE-451Published: July 14, 2026· Updated: Jul 15, 2026
Official Description
Symfony is a PHP framework for web and console applications and a set of reusable PHP components. From 6.1.0-BETA1 until 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12, UrlSanitizer::parse() passes Unicode explicit-direction BiDi formatting characters through into sanitized href and src attributes, allowing sanitized content to display a link destination that visually differs from the actual destination and enabling phishing-style visual spoofing. This issue is fixed in versions 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-45064 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation does not require any privileges, though user interaction (Required) is needed, which slightly reduces the risk of mass automated attacks.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
