CVE-2026-49216
CWE-79Published: July 17, 2026· Updated: Jul 21, 2026
Official Description
Symfony UX is a JavaScript ecosystem for Symfony. From 2.2.0 until 2.36.0 and 3.1.0, the Stimulus controller in symfony/ux-autocomplete renders AJAX response items in _createAutocompleteWithRemoteData() by interpolating the text field into HTML template literals (<div>${item[labelField]}</div>) rather than text, allowing attacker-controlled markup from user-supplied dropdown values to execute in the browser of any user who opens an autocomplete widget backed by the same data. This issue is fixed in versions 2.36.0 and 3.1.0.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-49216 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
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.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-79): Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
