description

Affected symfony/expression-language releases can crash the PHP process when parsing expressions with excessive nesting. An attacker needs access to an application feature that parses or syntax-validates untrusted expressions, including ExpressionSyntax-based validation.

mitigation

Upgrade symfony/expression-language or symfony/symfony to 5.4.54, 6.4.48, 7.4.21, or 8.1.9, as applicable. Until upgraded, prevent untrusted users from submitting expressions for parsing or validation.

fixed in 5.4.54, 6.4.48, 7.4.21, 8.1.9
