CVE-2023-46734: Potential XSS vulnerabilities in CodeExtension filters

November 10, 2023 • Published by Fabien Potencier

Affected versions

Symfony versions >=2.0.0,<4.4.51, >=5.0.0,<5.4.31, and =6.0.0,<6.3.8 of the Symfony Twig Bridge are affected by this security issue.

The issue has been fixed in Symfony 4.4.51, 5.4.31, 6.3.8. All other versions are not maintained anymore.

Description

Some filters in the CodeExtension Twig extension use is_safe=html but they don't actually ensure their input is safe.

CodeExtension is an internal Twig extension that should be only used in development environments. You might be affected only if you are using this extension explicitly in production environments.

As of Symfony 6.4, this extension has been marked as @internal.

Resolution

Symfony now escapes the output of the affected filters.

The patch for this issue is available here for branch 4.4.

Credits

We would like to thank Pierre Rudloff for reporting the issue and to Nicolas Grekas for providing the fix.
