CVE-2026-45069
CWE-345Published: 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. Prior to 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12, OidcTokenHandler::verifyClaims() registered audience (aud), issuer (iss), and expiry (exp) checkers but did not pass the mandatory claims list to ClaimCheckerManager::check(), so a validly signed JWT that omitted those claims could pass verification. This issue is fixed in versions 6.4.40, 7.4.12, and 8.0.12.
Risk Analysis
This critical vulnerability in Symfony's OidcTokenHandler allows for a security feature bypass due to improper JWT claim verification. With a CVSS score of 9.1, this flaw could enable an attacker to bypass authentication, leading to unauthorized access. No user interaction is required for exploitation.
No public exploits are currently known for this vulnerability. The flaw is remotely exploitable with low complexity, making it a significant concern.
Users of Symfony should update to versions 6.4.40, 7.4.12, or 8.0.12 immediately. Ensure all Symfony applications are running the latest patched versions and review JWT handling configurations.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-45069 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), with a CVSS base score of 9.1.
